Form 990, Part III, Line 4D: Other Program Services Description

“OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 4: Mountain System MonitoringCSAS maintained its Mountain System Monitoring infrastructure and program activities at the Senator Beck Basin Study Area at Red Mountain Pass throughout FY17/18, continuously collecting weather, snowpack, soils, radiation, and stream flow measurements 24/7/365 and publishing those data, as archived datasets, on its open access website for K-12 schools, undergraduate and graduate student, researcher, agency, and other researchers investigating the effects of climate change on mountain systems. Public, open access to near-real-time hourly data from the Senator Beck Basin was also maintained in FY1718 on the CSAS website and used by the Colorado Avalanche Information Center highway safety program, the National Weather Service, other regional snow safety professionals, local water management agencies, and the general public. Executive Director Derry devoted 19% to monitoring operations and MSM program activities in FY1718.”
