A 5-year, $20 million grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to the University
of Wyoming will allow researchers to work with Wyoming’s communities to deal with
expected significant and lasting changes in water availability. Through fieldwork
and high-performance computing, researchers will quantify how a changing climate in
one of the nation’s key headwater regions is likely to affect streamflows, aquatic
ecosystems and vegetation and the communities and people who depend upon them.
