MTNCLIM - Mountain Climate Science Conference
Research Conference in Montana, March 1-4, 2005
MTNCLIM is a new biennial research conference, sponsored by the Consortium for Integrated Climate Research on Western Mountains (CIRMOUNT), dedicated to mountain climate sciences and effects of climate variability on ecosystems, natural resources, and conservation in western North American mountains. The first conference, MTNCLIM 2005, featured invited and contributed talks, poster sessions, and action-oriented working-group sessions. A post-conference workshop, «Climate 101» addressed implications of climate variability and change to natural resource managers.
MTNCLIM aims to advance the sciences related to climate and its interaction with physical, ecological, and social systems of western North American mountains. Within this arena, MTNCLIM goals are to:
- Provide a biennial forum for presenting and encouraging current interdisciplinary research
- Promote active integration of science into resource-management application
- Advance other goals of CIRMOUNT through ad hoc committees, networking opportunities, co-hosting meetings
