Biological Diversity Conserved

CSE has developed a new process of environmental problem solving based on the belief that answers arise from the process of study and analysis rather than from a predetermined set of findings. Our scientists seek objective, rational, scientifically-based solutions. CSE research bridges the gap between basic academic investigation and real-life application.

CSE offers a broad range of capabilities to communities, citizens groups, industry, and governmental agencies. Our capabilities include:

• Providing independent and innovative approaches to solving environmental problems and policy issues (see Mono Lake Study)
• Addressing environmental concerns with advanced application of data bases (see Salmon Study)
• Solving environmental problems with community outreach programs (see Salmon Study)
• Developing forecasting methods and computer modeling for natural resource management (see JABOWA III)
• Leading innovative resource management workshops by bringing together experts from many disciplines, citizens groups, corporate representatives, and diverse governmental agencies
• Providing statistical analyzes of available data on environmental issues (see Salmon Study)
• Drawing upon local citizen expertise and knowledge as an aid to solving environmental problems (see Salmon Study)
• Utilizing historical information to understand natural ecosystems (see Salmon Study, Mono Lake Study)
• Providing environmental education through lectures, publications and public forums (see Salmon Study)
• Preparing “roadmaps” to guide communities in the development of land use plans
• Training scientists and technicians in the use of advanced computer methodologies for analysis of environmental issues
• Developing and providing training in new approaches for ecosystem management and adaptive management
• Providing guidance in industrial and non-industrial forestry (see JABOWA III)
