Understanding the Onset of Impacts, Management Responses, and Utility of 30-m Evapotranspiration Data for Ecological Drought in Montana

Abstract

This report presents findings from two workshops conducted under the NOAA NIDIS Coping with Ecological Drought grant, aimed at understanding the onset of ecological drought impacts, management responses, and the utility of 30-meter evapotranspiration (ET) monitoring in Montana. The workshops—one in-person in Helena and one virtual—brought together 17 natural resource practitioners from diverse sectors and ecosystems across the state.
