Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Greg Pederson, paleoclimatologist with the USGS Northern Rocky Mountain Science Center is one of three "ice patch" scientists to win the Camp Monaco Prize for work in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem

The scientists, all affiliated with Montana State University, will use the prize to study the materials left by retreating ice patches in the high elevations.

Pederson studies the remains of tree rings in wood fragments found in ice patches to chart climatic conditions. Trees that lived for over 400 years were discovered in the ice patches that perished over 5000 years ago helping to reconstruct climatic conditions during the mid-Holocene.

With the melting of mountain ice patches there is a certain amount of urgency in studying these materials before they are gone forever.
