| 1:07.1 | progressing up the mountainside. Migrating mule deer follow and forage on this green wave. But as a changing climate leads to more frequent and more severe droughts, the greenery is not as bountiful as it used to be. |
| 1:19.0 | For her PhD research at the University of Wyoming, Ellen Aikens tracked mule deer as they surfed the green wave. |
| 1:26.0 | The green up lasted across the landscape for about half as long in drought years in comparison to wet years and also the order of green up along these |
