I have been working in Dinosaur Nat’l Monument under the park botanist, Tamara Naumann.\u00a0 Located in northwestern Colorado, Dinosaur Nat’l Monument is home to over 60 miles of the Green and Yampa Rivers,\u00a0and boasts a seriously impressive landscape.\u00a0 It is like no place I’ve ever seen before, and\u00a0it’s standard to get\u00a0the sensation of being on another planet.\u00a0 The\u00a0geology of the Monument, which I will not get into,\u00a0could easily be an entire post\u00a0by itself.\u00a0 But, if you would like more info on the Monument’s unique geology, shoot me an email at jcr02@uark.edu<\/a>.\u00a0 The\u00a0scope of my internship has been primarily focused on river ecosystem health and function.\u00a0\u00a0The Yampa remains the last wild\/undammed river in the Colorodo River system.\u00a0 The Green\u00a0River has been regulated upstream by the Flaming\u00a0Gorge Dam since 1964.\u00a0 Dams are known to disrupt the physical, chemical and biological connectivity of rivers.\u00a0 The\u00a0Green and the\u00a0Yampa\u00a0rivers collide in the heart of the Monument at a place called Echo Park.\u00a0Because the\u00a0two rivers were so similar\u00a0during Pre-dam conditions, and are located in such close proximity to each other, a unique opportunity arises to study the impacts of large dams on big western rivers.<\/p>\n
