CMMAP hosted our sixth annual CMMAP Student Colloquium in
Fort Collins, Colorado, July 31 through August 3.<p></p>

The theme of the 2012 CMMAP Student Colloquium was climate change and
impacts, with a focus on pine/park beetle infestations, fire vulnerability, and
carbon in forest ecosystems. Along with presentations and activities that
related to this year's theme, graduate students and undergraduate interns gave
short presentations on their research.<p></p>

A day-long trip to the Glacier Lakes
Ecosystem Experiments Site (GLEES) in the Snowy Range of SE Wyoming 
took place in the middle of the week. GLEES is a high elevation wilderness-like
site where research is conducted to determine the effects of atmospheric change
and climate change on alpine and subalpine aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems
and the upper treeline ecotone. <p></p>

The colloquium was an opportunity for CMMAP graduate students and undergraduate
interns to develop contacts and learn together in a small group setting.
