The science behind climate change is the foundation of our work. We care about people, birds, wolverines, trout, forests, and the natural places we all call home.

Just released: the 2017 Montana Climate Assessment! This first assessment is part of an ongoing process of research and reporting on climate impacts in our state. It focuses on water, agriculture, and forestry - future editions will tackle other sectors such as recreation and tourism. Fine work by many local climate scientists. Lots of good information and an easily-navigable site - check it out!
Shout out: We thank the many researchers who put in long hours and dedicate their lives to helping us understand change within our ecological and human communities. If you'd like to help, consider working on a climate - citizen science project. Options are here.
