The Consortium for Integrated Climate Research in
Western Mountains (CIRMOUNT) is a collaborative, interdisciplinary
consortium dedicated to understanding climates and ecosystems of
western North American mountains. CIRMOUNT's goal is to bring together
researchers from diverse disciplines and institutions to measure
and understand climate-driven changes in the unique landscapes that
define western North American mountains, and to respond to the needs
and challenges of western society for mountain resources imposed
by climate change. CIRMOUNT is sponsored by a diverse group of agencies,
universities, and institutions, and is endorsed as a pilot project
of the International Mountain Research Initiative.
