Climate change has the potential to profoundly alter National Parks, affecting vegetation, wildlife, and cultural resources. In times of rapid change, proactive management is more effective than reactive measures, which simply respond to crises as they occur. Proactive management relies on understanding both past changes and expected future conditions. This resource brief examines historical climate patterns at Grand Teton National Park and compares them to projected conditions for the late 21st century. This type of information is the foundation for understanding potential impacts to nature and other resources in parks and can be used to help develop management strategies to mitigate unwanted change.
