Debra Patla is field coordinator for the Cooperative Amphibian Monitoring Project in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a project sponsored by National Park Service and USGS. She also monitors amphibians on the National Elk Refuge, and at sites of interest to managers and researchers in the GYE.

Her current work seeks to document species distribution as well as baseline information for determining if widespread declines are occurring.
