Center for Ecological Health Research (Cal Davis)
University of California - Davis
The central goal of the Center is to understand how multiple stresses affect biological processes in aquatic and terrestrial systems. Within five to ten years, research in this area should provide improved indicators of ecological change from multiple environmental stressors as well as techniques to predict and manage at least population-level changes in impacted species. Integrated biochemical and ecological studies will provide improved understanding of stressor effects at the ecosystem level. The objectives of the center are: (1) conduct multidisciplinary research on complex ecosystem processes, (2) develop new data management, analysis and modeling techniques, (3) develop new, sensitive and reliable methods of molecular and population epidemiology, and (4) use these new methodologies and increased understanding to predict effects of multiple stresses organized by aquatic and terrestrial environmental research areas, with subdivisions into lakes and wetlands, rivers and estuaries, forests, and agriculture. Four additional core programs provide service, technical support, and developmental capability for new approaches: Analytical, Molecular Epidemiology, Transport and Fate, and Decision Support systems.�
