Taking the Pulse of the Landscape, Part 2

Description

In Part 1, we explored the icy streams at the top of the continent, the creatures that depend on them for survival, and how the effects of warming temperatures trickle down stream. In Part 2, we’re much lower down, in McGee Creek in the North Fork part of the park. Researchers here are looking at native westslope cutthroat trout. They are trying to determine how the changes in stream flow and stream temperature that we’ve been seeing are affecting these cold-water adapted fish.
