Crown of the Continent
This is the new permanent home of the Crown of the Continent Program in the Department of Geography. Publications, photography, projects and news items that are Crown-related will be posted here.
This will also be the home of the Crown E-Magazine. Directly north of The University of Montana lie the scenic peaks, glaciated valleys and postcard-perfect scenery that constitute the Crown of the Continent ecosystem – what some call “The Backbone of the World.” That landscape also serves as a living laboratory for climate change, a stage for urban-wildland interface issues and a tapestry of history. This e-magazine presents issues driving decisions and research in the Crown, and compiles past and present work on those issues. With special sections for time-lapse photography documenting climate change in Glacier National Park, historical accounts, and current and past images of the Crown, the e-magazine seeks to illustrate the ecosystem’s importance.
