What People Are Saying

Perspectives from collaborators, educators, and partners working with WY-Adapt and WyACT.
“Allowing students 10 minutes to just play around on the WY-Adapt site was very interesting. They turned on and off layers of the map, toggled through past and future years to see what changes had happened or might still occur in their homes. It was eye-opening for them, and it also helped them make more relevant use of the information once the assessment was underway.”
Jules Craft
High School Science Teacher
“WY-Adapt is an incredible asset to my students and classroom, and using researcher methodologies in the field of phenology has provided an authentic data collection piece and revitalized the use of a native species biodiversity garden at our school. By comparing student-collected phenology data with climate data, my students were able to contextualize potential impacts of climate change in their local environment.”
Jenny Edwards
High School Science Teacher
“Students will often look at infographic or piece of data and freeze because they don’t know where to start. Using WY-Adapt has helped students build confidence in their data literacy and ability to grapple with big data. Starting local helped students to focus, then be able to zoom out and explore the bigger data without being daunted.”
Shawna Mattson
High School Science Teacher
“I increased my own knowledge and practice looking at WYAdapt data!”
K-12 teacher
“There’s lots of potential for using WyAdapt data in ways that are scalable for elementary students – it’s just a matter of deciding what, and how…”
K-12 teacher
“I loved the cleaner, simplified WyAdapt dashboard (climate compare).”

What is WY-Adapt?

WY-Adapt is a Wyoming-based platform that brings together climate projections, environmental monitoring, and community-focused data tools to support research, planning, education, and real-world decision-making.
Climate Projections
Explore future temperature, precipitation, snow, and climate extremes across Wyoming using downscaled climate data and scenario-based tools.
Monitoring & Observations
Access sensor, environmental, and social science data that support ongoing monitoring, field observations, and interactive exploration.
Collaboration & Education
Support Tribal partnerships, educator resources, and knowledge exchange that connect data, people, and place across Wyoming.

Who WY-Adapt Serves

WY-Adapt connects researchers, decision makers, Tribal partners, educators, and communities with climate data, interactive tools, and resources designed to support research, planning, education, collaboration, and informed decision-making across Wyoming.
Researchers
Access the data behind Wyoming climate research through SEaSON. Explore high-resolution climate projections, sensor monitoring data, environmental observations, and related social science information. SEaSON brings diverse datasets together in one place to support scientific research, modeling, interdisciplinary analysis, and a deeper understanding of climate and environmental change across Wyoming.

Decision Makers
Bring future climate information into planning and decision-making. Future Climate provides interactive tools for exploring projected changes in temperature, precipitation, snow, and climate extremes across Wyoming. Compare locations, variables, scenarios, and time periods to better understand potential future conditions and support informed planning, resource management, and climate adaptation.
Explore Future Climate →
Tribal Partners
Explore resources developed through collaboration with Tribal Nations and communities. The Tribal Partnerships platform supports Tribal-led data stewardship, environmental monitoring, research, and community priorities while recognizing the importance of data sovereignty, local knowledge, and culturally relevant information in understanding and responding to environmental change.
Explore Tribal Partnerships →
Educators
Bring Wyoming science into the classroom with TRKE, the Teacher Researcher Knowledge Exchange. Explore classroom-ready resources that connect students and educators with researchers, scientific concepts, and real Wyoming data. TRKE supports hands-on learning, climate and environmental science education, and the development of data literacy using locally relevant examples.
Explore TRKE →
Community Members
See what future climate projections could mean for the places you know across Wyoming. Future Climate turns complex climate data into interactive maps and visualizations that make it easier to explore projected changes in temperature, precipitation, snow, and climate extremes. Choose a location and explore how conditions may change over the coming decades.
