Energy Development and Recreation in Western Colorado Places
Maps the geographic landscape of western Colorado communities and landscapes where energy extraction activities, including coal leasing and in-situ processing, intersect with recreational use and wildlife presence.
Sagebrush Habitat Quality and Sage-Grouse Conservation Modeling
Integrates species distribution modeling, field validation, and habitat quality assessment to understand what drives Gunnison and greater sage-grouse persistence across sagebrush ecosystems.
Wetland Dragonflies and High-Elevation Peatlands of the Gunnison Basin
Connects rare dragonfly species and Sphagnum-dominated peatlands in the high-elevation wetlands near Crested Butte with natural areas documentation and local land-use context.
Water Rights, Hydropower, and Reservoir Geography in Colorado
