PATRICK DONNELLY     US FISH & WILDLIFE SERVICE/INTERMOUNTAIN WEST JOINT VENTURE

Patrick Donnelly is the lead research scientist for the Intermountain Mountain West Joint Venture (what is a joint venture? https://mbjv.org/ – https://iwjv.org/) and is part of the US Fish and Wildlife Service Migratory Bird Program. Patrick leads and conducts partner based research from the University of Montana in Missoula as a faculty affiliate in the Wildlife Program. His work for the IWJV focuses on waterbird conservation solutions that reduce impacts of increasing water scarcity and wetland loss in western ecosystems.

Patrick will review his recent research on climate change and its effect on wetlands which support waterbird migration, including Greater Sandhill Cranes.
