Tim Weinmann is the manager for the Loch Vale Watershed Long-term Ecological Research and Monitoring Program.
Tim Weinmann (he/him) serves as the manager for the Loch Vale Watershed Long-term Ecological Research and Monitoring Program under Dr. Jill Baron. Loch Vale is an instrumented, alpine and subalpine watershed in Rocky Mountain National Park where the ecological effects of global change have been studied since 1982. Managing the research program involves the collection of field data on waters, soils, plants, meteorology, and hydrology. These data are then analyzed to assess the state of ecosystem condition and function to better understand ecosystem processes like carbon and nitrogen cycling, and how they are impacted by global change. This knowledge supports original research, including a number of research efforts by students and partners around the world, and contributes to successful regional management actions that aim to reduce anthropogenic impacts on Rocky Mountain ecosystems.

The Western Mountain Initiative (WMI)
Western Mountain Initiative (WMI) is a long-term collaboration between FORT, WERC, NOROCK, USFS, NPS, LANL, and universities worldwide to address changes in montane forests and watersheds due to climate change. Current emphases include altered forest disturbance regimes (fire, die-off, insect outbreaks) and hydrology; interactions between plants, water, snow, nutrient cycles, and climate; and... - Data
