Wyoming

Home to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks, Wyoming is a jewel of the region. Prairies cover the east and the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem makes up the northwest. Trumpeter swans, grizzly bears, wolves, elk, and bison call this state home. Mountain Prairie houses extensive data for the Greater Yellowstone region--climate monitoring, vegetation maps, whitebark pine monitoring, and more. In addition to dramatic scenery and charismatic megafauna, Wyoming also has two costly diseases that affect fish and wildlife: brucellosis and whirling disease.

CollapseOffice of Global Change, United States Geological Survey (USGS)
Description: The USGS strives to understand how the earth works and to anticipate changes in how the earth functions. To accomplish this, USGS science aims to understand the interrelationships among earth surface processes, ecological systems, and human activities. This includes understanding current changes in the context of pre-historic and recent earth processes, distinguishing between natural and human-influenced changes, and recognizing ecological and physical responses to changes in climate.

CollapseA rough field guide for identification of D. geminata (PDF, 2 pp., 40 KB)
Description: This informal guide is intended to be a resource for recognizing D.geminata in the field, but does not replace confirmation of species identification. The intent of this guide is to allow field workers/biologists to rule out other species of diatoms that may be confused with D. geminata. This guide can be used in association with the images on the EPA website http://www.epa.gov/region8/water/didymosphenia/. Discusses the macroscopic appearance of D. geminata.

Grand Teton National Park covers nearly 310,000 acres of northwestern Wyoming and attracts approximately 2.5 million visitors annually. The Park's most recognizable features are the mountains that make up the Teton Range. These rise more than 7,000 feet above the valley. Mt. Moran is an impressive 12,605 ft above sea level.
