2019-20 Natural Resources Workforce Development Fellowship has begun with a 3 day in-person team training at Utah State University in Logan, Utah. The NRWD Fellows selected are graduate students in research-based thesis or dissertation-granting programs at the seven SW CASC consortium institutions.

The fellowship science theme this year is improved understanding of the linkages between the management of headwater ecosystems and downstream water resources. The cohort of eight Fellows will continue working together over the course of 12 months via Zoom and conclude with another in-person gathering and final presentation next fall at USU.
