Yosemite Hydroclimate Meeting - October 8-9, 2015 in Yosemite National Park
The 16th annual meeting of the Hydroclimate Workshop was sponsored by the Yosemite Resources Management and Science Division of Yosemite National Park. The workshop provides researchers and Park staff with a forum to exchange information about work being done in or near the Park, or share results from other Sierra Nevada areas that may have implications for resource management of the Park. Approximately 60 people attended the day-and-a-half workshop.
