Hydroclimatic variability in the Wasatch: Bridging research and management

Thumbnail: Tree-ring reconstruction of annual flow of the Bear River, 800–2010, smoothed to emphasize decadal-scale variability

The Western Water Assessment (WWA) and the Wasatch Dendroclimatology Research (WADR) Group—a joint effort of USU, BYU, and US Forest Service scientists—conducted a short workshop to to support the application of multi-century tree-ring reconstructions in water management in northern Utah. Over 30 water managers, researchers, and others participated in the workshop. [Layton, Utah]
