More than 700 scientific and scholarly studies have taken place in the park since the early 1900’s. In 2006, there are approximately 75 studies that are underway, ongoing, or recently completed. These projects are either conducted by Denali staff (see Current Projects 2005) and park cooperators (e.g., U.S. Geological Survey, Biological Resources Division, and the Alaska State Department of Fish and Game), as well as by investigators from other agencies, universities, and other institutions. Appropriate research gathers information while making minimal impacts to park resources. Researchers study everything imaginable from why glaciers surge, to the population dynamics of wolves and their prey, to the physiological effects of climbing Denali.
