Missouri TransectLogo Design Contest

We are a newly funded organization advancing scientific research and connecting scientists with the public and K-12 schools throughout the state of Missouri.

Green (but needs to look good in black and white as well), as the project involves a lot of plant science and climate science.

The Missouri Transect is a five-year effort to build infrastructure, knowledge, and collaborations
in research and education across Missouri. The research and education activities are focused
on understanding, modeling, and predicting 1) short- and long-term trends in temperature and
water availability; 2) the impact of these trends on the productivity of native flora and
agricultural crops; and 3) how different stakeholder communities are likely to respond to
a changing climate. We have assembled interdisciplinary teams who will focus on specific areas
of research and education and interact collaboratively to build the research platform across
the state.
