Beginning with the February 3rd Membership meeting, we will re-commence having hybrid meetings. This means that you can participate in the meeting through Zoom or you can attend at Little America and have lunch. The seating will be four to a table and you must wear a mask except when eating. Social distancing will be observed. This decision was made by the Rotary Board at their January 27th meeting. The hybrid meeting format is in effect until further notice.
To join a Membership meeting with Zoom, follow the meetings information below.
Shirley Basin Pronghorn Study - This will be a Zoom only meeting.
Mar 24, 2021
Dr. Matthew Kauffman- USGS and UW Professor
Shirley Basin Pronghorn Study
Hear about the results of a multi year study of one of the world’s largest pronghorn herds living near wind turbines in Shirley Basin northwest of Laramie from Dr. Matthew Kauffman.
Matt leads a scientific team at the University of Wyoming that has broken new ground exploring the long-distance migrations of Wyoming's large ungulates and communicating their importance to the public. His research seeks to understand how and why ungulates migrate, by evaluating the role of forage, movement, fat dynamics, reproduction and survival. Increasingly, he has sought to understand how the persistence of ungulate migration is threatened by landscape change. In 2012, Matt co-founded (and now directs) the Wyoming Migration Initiative (migrationinitiative.org), whose mission is to advance the understanding, appreciation, and conservation of Wyoming's migratory ungulates. Since 2006, Matt has worked as a USGS researcher with the Wyoming Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit and as faculty in the Department of Zoology and Physiology at the University of Wyoming; in 2010 he assumed leadership of the Wyoming Coop Unit.
