SEaSON Applications

Stream Temperature
Select from monitoring sites statewide to compare temperature trends, frequency, and timing across years.
Snowtography
Snowtography is a vital tool for enhancing our understanding of water retention through forest snowpack analysis. Snowtography uses automated cameras installed in trees to monitor snow depths across different forest assemblies (ie thinned/unthinned, forested/open, evergreen/deciduous). This innovative method provides essential data, helping researchers assess the impact of forest management on snowpack and groundwater levels.
Data Explorer
Map-based view of real and near-time data streams from sensors across Wyoming.
STREAM Trout Recruitment Modeler
Connecting climate and fisheries for adaptive water management. This app allows the user to see how changes in climate variables will affect Yellowstone cutthroat trout recruitment.
Lake Bathymetry
Visualize Wyoming's aquatic habitat
Wyoming Survey on Climate, Water, and People
Explore Wyoming residents' attitudes, trusted information sources, knowledge, experiences, and support for policy and community action in the dashboard.

About SEaSON

Socio-Environmental Systems Observatory Network

Mission

At WySEaSON, our mission is to enable understanding and detection of climate change impacts on the dynamic interactions between natural and human systems. We achieve this through coordinated measurement infrastructure and methodologies, supporting stakeholder-driven research and education.

Vision

We aim to provide trusted, high-quality, and freely available data and information on coupled human-environment systems. Our focus is on their responses to changing water availability in Wyoming and the surrounding region, ensuring that our community and stakeholders are well-informed and equipped to respond to these changes.

Research Focus

Our primary research question investigates how climate-driven changes to precipitation and snowpack influence human-environment interactions in the headwaters of major river drainages of western Wyoming. This involves observing, detecting, and quantifying the impacts of climate change on hydrological, ecological, and socioeconomic systems over years to decades.

Contact SEaSON
