Air, Water and Aquatic Environments Science Program Research Field Units

The Air, Water, and Aquatic Environments Science Program (AWAE) is a program that is part of the United States Forest Service Rocky Mountain Research Station.

The mission of the AWAE is to synthesize emerging science supporting truly integrated management of entire ecosystems into an understanding of the effects of natural processes and human activities on our air, water, and aquatic resources in the Interior West. The Program has Science Teams based in Albuquerque, NM; Flagstaff, AZ; Fort Collins, CO; Missoula, MT; Moscow, ID; and the AWAE headquarters are located in Boise, ID.
