Need your help: NAU's Tom Whitham and colleagues from across the West helped draft H.R.5145. The bill, which is sponsored by Representative O'Halleran (AZ, Dist 1), authorizes $13 million annually for research using field trials along rivers across states to develop responses to climate change that improve restoration success. Please sign on to a Change.org petition, if you would like to support this bill.
