CIRMOUNT
The Consortium for Integrated Climate Research in Western Mountains (CIRMOUNT) is a collaborative and interdisciplinary research consortium dedicated to understanding climate variability and effects of climate on western North American mountain ecosystems and resources. Participation is open to all interested scientists and natural resource managers. CIRMOUNT seeks to improve knowledge of high-elevation climate systems and to integrate knowledge of mountain ecosystem response to climate change into natural-resource management and policy. Six action-oriented, product-driven CIRMOUNT Work Groups have formed to address specific CIRMOUNT goals. They include: Mountain Climate Network; Mountain-Based Hydrologic Observatories; North American GLORIA (Global Observation Research Initiative in Alpine Environments); Mountain Ecosystem Responses to Climate; International Relations; and Paleoclimatic Archives for Resource Management. CIRMOUNT regularly sponsors the MTNCLIM conferences, held biennially at rotating locations in Western North America, as well as a technical session at the American Geophysical Union annual meeting every December in San Francisco, CA.
