The Mancos River at Mesa Verde National Park is home to a very diverse group of aquatic macroinvertebrates. These insect larvae, worms, and snails play a key role in the cycling of nutrients in aquatic systems and are a great indicator of river health. Here we look at population trends using data collected from 2008-2019 by the Southern Colorado Plateau Network.

Climate change is a major driver of bird population declines and is feared to be negatively affecting species abundances in the drought-stricken southwestern United States. We analyzed twelve years of bird monitoring data (2007-2018) from six national parks and monuments on the Colorado Plateau to obtain habitat- and park-specific, breeding-season population trends and understand how they are influenced by important climate variables.

Across the US, changes in water availability are altering which plants grow where. These changes are evident at a broad scale. But not all areas experience the same climate in the same way, even within the boundaries of a single national park. A new dataset gives park managers a valuable tool for understanding why vegetation has changed and how it might change in the future under different climate-change scenarios.

Petrified Forest National Park is planning on removing invasive vegetation and restoring native plants along the Rio Puerco. Prior to removal, we conducted surveys for the federally Threatened Yellow-billed Cuckoo.

Sunset Crater Volcano is an especially large and picturesque cinder cone that was formed in an Sub-Plinian volcanic eruption in 1085 CE (common era). The monument preserves the cinder cone and its associated lava flows and volcanic features in the San Francisco Volcanic Field in northern Arizona.

Petroglyph National Monument, located on the west side of Albuquerque, New Mexico, preserves more than 24,000 petroglyphs carved onto volcanic rock outcroppings and boulders. It is located in the Albuquerque Volcanic Field where eruptions about 156,000 years ago formed the Albuquerque Volcanoes which is a series of three spatter cones and the basaltic lava flows in the monument.
