Inside CU's world-class alpine research center

Send us Fan MailToday, we’re taking a trip to CU Boulder’s Mountain Research Station. This little plot of land in the Indian Peaks Wilderness operated by CU’s Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) is one of the longest running high elevation research centers in the world. This summer, they’re celebrating 100 plus years of groundbreaking research by opening its doors to the public. First, we'll hear from INSTAAR on the history of the Mountain Research Station. After that, we meet three scientists with upcoming public seminars at the station who are doing groundbreaking research that could soon influence your local community.AlsoTimberline Fire Protection District unveils new stationCentral City Opera launches renovation project for historic stablesCheck out the full schedule of seminar speakers here: colorado.edu/mrs/current-events/summer-seminar-seriesLearn more about INSTAAR's 75th anniversary and sign up for alerts here: colorado.edu/instaar/about-instaar/75th-anniversaryOur theme song is courtesy of singer-songwriter Brittney Wagner.
