Niwot Ridge LTER
We study species and ecosystems in the high mountains of the Colorado Rockies to better understand our global future. Learn more @ nwt.lternet.edu.
- On a recent blustery day, NWT LTER researchers took Isabella Escobedo, a reporter from KUNC, up Niwot Ridge to cover our ongoing alpine warming experiment. Check out Isabella's story that came out yesterday! www.kunc.org/kunc/2025-12...
- For those of you who enjoy the TundraCam, we're happy to announce it's back online after some much-needed TLC. nwt.lternet.edu/news/the-tun...
- We are celebrating the news that Dr. Will Wieder and colleagues have been awarded a grant from the National Science Foundation to study how soil fungi influence shrub expansion into tundra ecosystems! nwt.lternet.edu/news/niwot-r...
- NWT LTER researchers-- who often have their nose to the ground as they collect data on plants, insects, and soil-- are trained to look up on a regular basis to check for thunderstorms... and moose! Recent work suggests that these powerful ungulates are indeed native to Colorado!
- Congratulations, Dr. Lauren Shoemaker, on your NSF CAREER award! nwt.lternet.edu/news/shoemak...
