Hello everyone! Please click here to view the recording of presentations by 6 of our 2020 Western Resources Fellows. Each fellow presentation is about 10 minutes and below is the line-up:
| Abbey Warner | Groundwater Conservation Easements in Southwest Colorado |
| Margot Buckelew | In-stream Flows in Colorado: Establishment and Opportunities |
| Damaris Chenoweth | Modeling Recovery of Big Sagebrush Community at Disturbances due to Oil and Gas Extraction |
| Jon Michel | Influence of Soil Texture on Well Pad Restoration in Wyoming |
| Humna Sharif | Managing the Yampa River in a Changing Climate |
| Darya Watnick | Soil Health and Soil Carbon Sequestration in Regenerative Agriculture |
During summer 2020, Western Resources Fellows with UHPSI completed research, an internship, or a project related to conservation, stewardship, or management of natural resources in the western United States. Much of their work is self-directed, however fellows often collaborate closely with Yale faculty and staff and western conservation partners in order to contribute to ongoing research and conservation efforts in the West.
Are you a western conservation collaborator?
If you are interested in having a student possibly work on a project or effort for summer 2021 to facilitate conservation and stewardship of the West, then please email Michelle.downey@yale.edu to discuss more.
