A group that is doing similar work to what the Columbia River Basin should be doing for their alpine environments.
Their goal:
"Our goal is to develop and implement a simple, repeatable, and useful
set of measurements and transects that alpine travelers can use to
contribute to research on alpine climate changes."

Let's discuss and create our own monitoring network of outdoor enthusiasts and scientists. More to come!
