The Denali LTEM program is your federal
tax dollars at work. We want to make it as easy as possible for the public to find results
from the program and to comment on its direction. Public support is especially critical to
the success of a long-term data collection program, such as this. Maintaining long-term
funding in an annual budget environment is a challenge Long-term programs must be
able to compete successfully with projects addressing the crisis-of-the-moment. The LTEM
program cannot generate public support if the public does not perceive any benefits from
the program. We hope this web page will provide a stronger connection between the
monitoring program and the public it serves.
