The University of California Berkeley is awarded a grant to add two critically needed housing units to the Environmental Science Center-housing complex at the south boundary of the Angelo Coast Range Reserve, http://angelo.berkeley.edu, an 8000 acre reserve administered by the University of California Berkeley campus and the UC. Natural Reserve System, Reserve. A 450 square foot apartment building will be added with quarters suitable for longer-term resident researchers, including researchers with families. A 384 square foot bunkhouse will provide group housing for shorter term individuals researchers. These units will be built near an existing older Headquarters building, where communal dining, laundry, and recycling facilities are available. This housing complex will be across the road from the Environmental Science Center, where a classroom can accommodate 30-50 people, and a wet and two dry laboratories are available, all with wireless and high speed internet connections. The additional housing will alleviate a critical shortage, which has become acute over the last 8 years as use of the Angelo Reserve by multi-disciplinary research teams, and for environmental education, has surged.Since 1994, the Angelo Coast Range Reserve has served the University of California Natural Reserve System mission of supporting university-level research, teaching and outreach. Over the last ten years, use of the Reserve by researchers and students has burgeoned with its adoption as a primary field site by two large, interdisciplinary teams. Angelo was chosen as the first collaborative field site for earth scientists, environmental engineers, and ecologists in the National Center for Earth Surface Dynamics (NCED, http://nced.umn.edu), an NSF Science and Technology Center. In 2006, Angelo was selected as the first watershed test bed for Keck Hydrowatch, a Berkeley program funded by the Keck Foundation to develop advanced technologies for monitoring the life cycle of water from atmosphere to trees, soils, deep bedrock reservoirs and streams in steep, forested catchments. These and other groups are using Angelo as a protected research site and a stepping stone to the larger Eel River basin for multi-scale investigations of how biota and ecosystem processes change down the river network. These studies are advancing our capacity to predict ecological responses to altered land use, biotic change, or climate. The new buildings will help house researchers and students from all over the US and several foreign countries, and also faciliate exchanges with local youth including Native Americans, in particular students from Fond du Lac Tribal College in Minnesota, an NCED partner institution, and with Karuk leaders and youth (from the middle Klamath River, ca. 4 h north of our site), as part of the Karuk-Berkeley Collaborative studying forest-river-water interactions.

加州伯克利大学获得了一笔赠款，用于在安杰洛海岸山脉保护区（http://angelo.berkeley.edu）南部边界的环境科学中心住宅区增加两个急需的住房单元，该保护区占地8000英亩，由加州伯克利分校和加州大学管理。自然保护区系统，保护区。 一座450平方英尺的公寓楼将增加适合长期居住的研究人员的宿舍，包括有家庭的研究人员。 一个384平方英尺的工棚将为短期个人研究人员提供集体住房。 这些单位将建在现有的一座较旧的总部大楼附近，那里有公共餐厅、洗衣房和回收设施。 这个住宅区将与环境科学中心隔街相望，其中一间教室可容纳30-50人，还有一个湿实验室和两个干实验室，所有实验室都配有无线和高速互联网连接。 在过去的8年里，随着多学科研究团队对安杰洛保护区的使用以及环境教育的激增，安杰洛海岸山脉保护区已经变得严重短缺。自1994年以来，安杰洛海岸山脉保护区一直服务于加州大学自然保护区系统的使命，支持大学水平的研究，教学和推广。 在过去的十年里，研究人员和学生对保护区的使用随着两个大型跨学科团队将其作为主要实地考察地点而迅速发展。安吉洛被选为美国国家科学基金会科学技术中心地球表面动力学国家中心（NCED，http://nced.umn.edu）地球科学家、环境工程师和生态学家的第一个合作现场。2006年，Angelo被选为Keck Hydrowatch的第一个流域试验台，这是一个由Keck基金会资助的伯克利项目，旨在开发先进的技术，用于监测从大气到树木，土壤，深层基岩水库和陡峭森林集水区溪流的水生命周期。 这些团体和其他团体正在将安杰洛作为一个受保护的研究地点，并将其作为通往更大的鳗鱼河流域的垫脚石，以多尺度调查生物群和生态系统过程如何沿着河流网络发生变化。 这些研究正在提高我们预测土地利用改变、生物变化或气候变化的生态反应的能力。 新建筑将帮助容纳来自美国各地和几个外国的研究人员和学生，并促进与当地青年的交流，包括美洲原住民，特别是来自明尼苏达州丰迪拉克部落学院的学生，NCED的合作机构，以及与Karuk领导人和青年（来自加利福尼亚州克拉马斯河中游）的交流。4小时以北我们的网站），作为Karuk-Berkeley协作研究森林-河流-水相互作用的一部分。
