from the Directors
As Montana NSF EPSCoR wraps up the current RII Track-1 project (2011-2018), we are excited to report exceptional science, education, and engagement outcomes. Project scientists made foutstanding contributions to understanding climate- ecosystem linkages across diverse disciplines, the project established and supported the Montana Institute on Ecosystems (IoE), the state’s flagship Institute for ecosystem and environmental research, and the IoE and partners completed and distributed the first ever Montana Climate Assessment.
