Alpine Hydrology Course
03/14/2015
Admission
- Free
Summary
What do dairy farms in Greeley, off-road vehicle use in Moab, and alpine talus fields have in common? Join scientists from CU-Boulder to explore cutting edge research from the Niwot Ridge Long Term Ecological Research site that is changing what we know about the limits of survival for microorganisms found within the extreme environments located in high elevations, and availability of limiting nutrients across the Colorado alpine. Learn about the links between human activities and biogeochemical cycles, such as the carbon and nitrogen cycles, and how they affect the quality of the Colorado water supply.
Mountain Studies Institute, in partnership with Biological Sciences Initiative, ScienceLIVE, Learn More About Climate, and National Science Foundation (Dust on Snow Grant) are excited to offer teachers, informal educators, and interested partners a workshop opportunity to learn from expert scientist-educators on bringing the Colorado alpine into their classrooms. We are planning for this year’s Alpine Hydrology workshop to be held for a full day in Durango. Through hands-on/minds-on activities for grades 6-16, we will bring the nitrogen and carbon cycles, and the microbial communities that drive them to life.
