Education & Outreach



(image from Kids NIEHS)

At WRDS and the State Climate Office, our goal is to educate and inform the citizens of Wyoming on matters related to water and climate. We specialize in providing historical context for current and ongoing climatic events, and we serve as a conduit for data produced by a variety of State and Federal Agencies. Our mission is to assemble available information on water, climate and drought, and place it in a Wyoming perspective.
