Water Wise: A new way to gauge quality
By Coleman Cornelius | Jan. 1, 2023
After serving six years in the U.S. Marine Corps, Daniel Dominguez hit the road and drove through much of North America.
He stopped at many national parks, including Glacier National Park in Montana, where he learned about the quickening pace of glacier melt because of climate change. Dominguez realized a theme had emerged.
“Everywhere I went, everyone was talking about how water was going to be the big issue,” he recalled.
Dominguez was drawn to Colorado State University for its natural resources programs and started in 2017 with a major in watershed science.
RM-AMP NOTE:
During the summers of 2019 and 2020, Dominguez participated in RM-AMP’s Summer Research Initiative (SRI) with the Rocky Mountain Science and Sustainability Network at Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks where he performed field collections and trained in phenology and specimen identification.
