The U.S. Geological Survey’s (USGS) Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NoROCK) is offering a grant to initiate a critical climate assessment within the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE). This grant specifically funds the first phase, which will focus on foundational climate and water resources. The purpose of this initial work is to establish a comprehensive basis for subsequent, broader assessment phases. This collaborative effort encourages participation from agencies, universities, and various public and private stakeholders, fostering wide-ranging interactions. The work for this phase is expected to last 12-18 months, culminating in valuable outputs including a publicly accessible final document, robust data sets, a dedicated assessment website, and potentially jointly authored scientific journal publications with USGS and partnering scientists. This grant is for advancing essential climate understanding in the GYE.
