Montana Climate Assessment

water and climate

The Montana Climate Assessment is a product of the Montana University System’s Institute on Ecosystems, in collaboration with the Montana Water Center, Montana Climate Office, and Montana State University Extension. The assessment focuses on climate trends and their consequences for three of Montana’s vital sectors: water, forests and agriculture. The report grew out of extensive listening sessions with individuals and groups across the state, and is the product of a two-year effort by university researchers and students, state and federal researchers, nonprofit organizations, tribal colleges and citizens.

The Water Center authored the chapter on water and climate change in partnership with significant contribution from the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology and other water-focused individuals, agencies and organizations in the state.
