Ongoing Research and Monitoring Programs
YellowstoneNET is a network of People and an Internet platform called EPIIC that solves problems (Read More). Together they provide a People’s Science that adds value and trust to essential data needed to drive smart decision-making for all stakeholders. Our long-term research and ‘community science’ monitoring programs (RiverNET, LandNET, and WildNET) provide datastreams that fuel EPIIC which adapts to changing conditions and provides--among many products--the ecological forecasts to craft a preventative health care plan for our ecosystem. Datastreams come from thousands of ‘sensors’ ranging from people with cell phone apps to airborne drones and spaceborne satellites. A newly formed public-private coalition is constructing EPIIC that is building the world’s first Internet of Things for Nature ( IoT - Nature) in the Yellowstone Ecosystem which includes the world’s first national park and our nation’s first forest reserve.
