WMRS History Page	history documents

WMRS has a long and distinguished history of supporting scientific research and has played a key role in many scientific milestones, including the physiology of hypoxia and ventilation (Nello Pace, John Severinghouse), the measurement and polarization of the cosmic background radiation (David Wilkinson, George Smoot), the physiology of hibernation (Hannah Carey), and holocene paleoecology and paleoclimate in bristlecone pines (Ed Schulman, Wes Ferguson, Hal Fritts). These and many other fields of science are actively pursued today at the station, and further scientific breakthroughs are undoubtably waiting to be recognized. WMRS is truly an institution that foments and supports scientific innovation and advancement.

This page provides a site for gathering historical photographs and information about the earlier days of WMRS. For an overview of WMRS administrative history, see the draft WMRS history outline . For more written history, with photographs, of the station's first 25 years, see NelloPace's "25 Years of High Altitude Research" pdf file. For a brief history of the station up to 1995, see the Clarence Hall's Crooked Creek History pdf file First hand accounts by early WMRS staffers may be read on WMRS History Documents page. We hope this page will continue to grow as people associated with station continue to submit photos and other stories.
