Pacific Southwest Research Station

Pacific Southwest Research Station coordinates research with the western Forest Service Research Stations in the Pacific Northwest and Rocky Mountains, and with Federal, State, academic, and non-governmental partners. The coordination among the 3 western research stations has been especially fruitful as the website Climate Change Resource Center is now online and a Toolkit for Resource Managers is being developed. In addition to coordination among USFS scientists and resource managers, PSW has been instrumental in facilitating exchange among lead climate change scientists in the western US with the hosting of the CIRMOUNT website and high-level involvement of PSW scientists in CIRMOUNT.
