Field experiment at the Angelo Reserve

Updated May 23, 2008.

NCED has selected the Angelo Coast Range Reserve (ACRR) in northern California as our erosional field site. The reserve's combination of a protected and relatively unspoiled landscape, high erosion rates, available historical data, and climate make it an ideal site to field-test our predictive ecogeomorphic models of channel and channel system evolution. 

In addition to these physical features, the Reserve hosts an up-to-date Science Center, with dry and wet labs, lath house, computer room, library/collections room, class room, and reserve office. Images of the facility are available on the ACRR site.

Principal Investigators from all three of NCED's Integrated Projects (IPs) come together at the Reserve, both to further their IPs research and to provide the research result integration that underpins NCED's overall research strategy.
