CERC Research Programs

The Columbia Environmental Research Center conducts environmental research; develops natural resource inventory and monitoring tools; provides technical assistance, and information and technology transfer. CERC’s scientific capabilities provides the foundation for a broad framework to address current and emerging natural resource issues. In addition, CERC has a unique capability for conducting both focused and large-scale multidisciplinary studies of contaminated environments. The Center views contamination problems in the context of multiple environmental stressors to understand how contaminants move through the natural environment. CERC also identifies potentially sensitive environments, and assesses the effectiveness of remedial activities. Emphasis is on projects that integrate scientific disciplines on larger geographic areas.
