Field Research
YERC's Long History of Research in Yellowstone
The founder of the Yellowstone Ecological Research Center, Dr. Robert Crabtree, has been conducting research in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem since the late 1980s, focusing YERC’s research program on a wide variety of ecological studies on Yellowstone National Park’s Northern Range. YERC and its predecessor began renting field station facilities in the Cooke City / Silvergate region in 1992, and have had a continuous field station presence there ever since. In that time, YERC has employed over 200 interns, the best of whom have often moved on to become field technicians, YERC staff, and/or to complete further graduate training in the biological sciences.
