Clear Waters: Join a Field Crew to Track Change in Sierra Nevada Lakes (Story Map)
Monroe M and Eddy A. 2020. Clear Waters: Join a Field Crew to Track Change in Sierra Nevada Lakes (Story Map). U.S. National Park Service. Fort Collins, CO
National parks in the Sierra Nevada protect over 1200 lakes. Mountain lakes provide habitat for wild plants and animals and supply fresh water to downstream farms and communities. Their rugged settings and clear blue water make them popular hiking destinations. In this story map, readers join Sierra Nevada Network (NPS I&M) field scientists as we travel to remote areas and study lake ecosystems. The information we gather will help stewards make the best science-based decisions for our national parks. This Story Map is an outreach product associated with Sierra Nevada Network Inventory and Monitoring program Lake Monitoring Protocol.
