www.fort.usgs.gov — Irreplaceable resources such as water, timber, biodiversity and recreational opportunities are all being affected by the earth's global changing climate. Ecological disturbances - wildfire, insect outbreaks, and the spread of invasive species - are also accelerating and changing the earth's ecosystems. US Geological Survey (USGS) and US Fish and More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NRMSC, Bozeman) | Format: .PDF
www.nrmsc.usgs.gov — The ecology of hoofed big-game species in the northern Rocky Mountains, known as ungulates, is strongly influenced by climate. Climate change impacts summer precipitation, winter snow pack, and the timing of spring green-up, all of which control animal physiology, demography, diet, habitat selection, and predator prey interactions. However, the More...

www.cfr.washington.edu — The Western Mountain Initiative is a team of USGS and USDA Forest Service scientists working together to better understand and predict the responses of Western mountain ecosystems to climatic variability and change, emphasizing sensitivities, thresholds, resistance, and resilience. The objective of the Western Mountain Initiative (WMI) is to More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NRMSC, Bozeman) | Format: URL
nrmsc.usgs.gov — This web resource documents glacial decline through photography, pairing historic images with contemporary photos, giving global warming a face and made climate change a relevant issue to viewers. The images are an effective visual means to help viewers understand that climate change contributes to the dynamic landscape changes so evident in More...
Publisher: USGS | Science Center: Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center (NRMSC, Bozeman) | Format: URL
nrmsc.usgs.gov — Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center has been monitoring, conducting research, and modeling ecosystem responses to climatic variability since 1991, first at Glacier National Park but eventually throughout the western U.S. in collaboration with other scientists. Coordination with scientists around the world have led to mountain research networks More...

www.umt.edu — This website links to graphs which show how bird species and their nesting habitats and communities have been effected by climate variation. The website also links to other research projects, publications and lab members. Climate change may impact communities in a variety of ways. Most attention has focused on earlier breeding in warmer years. More...
