OrganizationsNumerous organizations contribute to the quality of life in the Merced River Watershed. We have compiled a directory or these organizations and provided several options for searching. Create a listing for your organization or check the accuracy of your organization's metadata if it's already listed in the directory. Once an organization is entered in our directory, it can begin using the library to publish it's documents on the web, using our library. Recently AddedEast Merced Resource Conservation District (EMRCD)Mission: Promote the conservation of natural resources for the benefit of the general public and landowners through partnerships, education, outreach, research, technical and financial assistance. California Biodiversity CouncilThe California Biodiversity Council (CBC) was formed in 1991 to improve coordination and cooperation between the various resource management and environmental protection organizations at federal, state, and local levels.

United States Geological Survey - Sierra Nevada Global Change Research Program"Mountain ecosystems, with their geographic compression of climatic gradients and biological communities, offer unique opportunities for exploring the relationships among climate, disturbance, and forest response. Taking advantage of these opportunities, The Sierra Nevada Global Change Research Program began in 1991. Originally funded by the National Park Service, and now funded by the Biological Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey, the program has involved more than 20 scientists from ten research institutions. The program set out to explore the fundamental character and significance of forest changes driven by the two most powerful agents of change in the Sierra Nevada: climate and fire. Studies are organized around three time periods: past, present and future. This organizational approach--modern mechanistic studies and extensive paleoecological studies informing one another under the integrative framework of state-of-the-art computer models--is a uniquely powerful way of exploring the character and significance of forest change. The diagram below summarizes the project organization." |
