Audacity of Hope
The phrase “climate change” evokes a range of responses. For many climate change is a defining challenge; will our society be able to maintain the ecosystem services that underlie food, water, and human health? For others, the words invoke confusion, disagreement, or even weariness.

When you think of climate change, it’s likely you picture glaciers melting in the arctic, or massive wildfires scorching California hillsides. You probably don’t consider the thousands of little ponds tucked away in the Colorado Rockies, many of which can be found just up the Gothic Valley. But for freshwater ecologist Dr. Scott Wissinger, the relationship between climate change and high alpine ponds has culminated in thirty plus years of research at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (RMBL).
