This Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the National Park Service under the Conservation, Protection, Outreach, and Education program (CFDA 15.954), will support the maintenance and enhancement of the ClimateAnalyzer.org platform. The platform provides parks with weather data, graphical and statistical summaries, and hydrological monitoring information to inform park management and improve visitor experience. The $205,250 award, spanning Sep 1, 2024 to Dec 31, 2027, will also enable the evaluation of projected changes in water balance using updated climate projections, analyze impacts of a changing hydrological regime on park resources, and inform park decisions with the research findings. Additionally, the project will support specific park-based initiatives that leverage climate data to benefit park management and the Vital Signs Monitoring Program. The award recipient is the non-profit Northern Rockies Conservation Cooperative, which specializes in providing scientific research, technical assistance, and communication services to federal land management agencies in the Rocky Mountain region.
