Great op ed on the impact of alpine ecosystem research by @ncemery.bsky.social (INSTAAR, EBIO, & Director of @niwotridgelter.bsky.social) ⬇️
OPINION — “Even if you’re unaware of the data on Niwot Ridge, you’ve surely benefited,” writes Emery.
Alpine science in #Boulder's backyard helps forecast avalanches, protect wildlife and keep your tap water clean — but it needs sustained funding. boulderreportinglab.org/2025/07/15/n...

Opinion | Nancy Emery: What long-term science in Boulder’s alpine is teaching the world about mountain ecosystems
With over 45 years of uninterrupted data, scientists at Niwot Ridge in Boulder County are documenting changes in alpine ecosystems — and why such studies need long-term support.

@mprnews.org covered critical MSP LTER research being conducted by Co-Director Emilie Snell-Rood and postdoc Lindsey Kemmerling that explores the negative impact lead pollution has on the health of pollinators like butterflies #heavymetals #pollution #pollinators z.umn.edu/MPR-lead-butterflies
U of M study finds lead contamination threatens butterflies
University of Minnesota researchers say they’ve found a correlation between lead levels and smaller wing sizes, which could keep the pollinators from thriving.
