The Western Ecological Research Center is the primary source to which DOI management
agencies and their partners turn for research in the biological and physical sciences
needed to support decisions by land managers throughout the Pacific Southwest. Center
scientists are nationally-recognized experts on the ecosystems and associated species
of the region and are the first choice of DOI clients to meet their information needs.
The Center provides information in formats useful to managers, including peer-reviewed
publications, technical bulletins, technical assistance, technologies such as Geographic
Information Systems and distributed databases, and other forms.
