ABSTRACT INFORMATION
'Logan River Observatory: Long-term Local Monitoring to Inform Local Policy and Management Decisions'
Plenary Speaker

Abstract:

This talk will provide an overview of the infrastructure installed as part of the NSF funded iUTAH project and the ongoing transition to the Logan River Observatory. We discuss the future of the Logan River Observatory and provide some examples of how it can become a community resource by providing outreach/educational opportunities as well as the needed data to inform future management decisions.
