FSML: Improvements in Housing Facilities at the Angelo Coast Range Reserve

加州大学伯克利分校获得拨款，为环境科学中心增加两个急需的住房单元-位于安吉洛海岸山脉保护区南边的住房综合体http://angelo.berkeley.edu，，这是一个由加州大学伯克利分校和加州大学管理的8,000英亩保护区。自然保护区系统，保护区。将增加一栋450平方英尺的公寓楼，提供适合长期常驻研究人员的宿舍，包括带家人的研究人员。研究人员表示，一座384平方英尺的棚屋将为短期个人提供集体住房。这些单元将建在一座现有的旧总部大楼附近，那里有公共用餐、洗衣和回收设施。这个住宅区将位于环境科学中心的对面，那里有一个教室可以容纳30-50人，还有一个湿实验室和两个干实验室，都有无线和高速互联网连接。额外的住房将缓解严重的短缺，在过去的8年里，随着多学科研究团队对安吉洛保护区的使用和环境教育的激增，这一问题变得严重。自1994年以来，安吉洛海岸保护区一直服务于加州大学自然保护区系统的使命，支持大学层面的研究、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迅速增长，两个大型跨学科团队将其作为主要的实地考察地点。安吉洛被选为地球科学家、环境工程师和生态学家在国家地球表面动力学中心(NCED，http://nced.umn.edu)，和美国国家科学技术中心)的第一个协作现场。2006年，Angelo被选为Keck Water Watch的第一个流域试验台，该项目是由Keck基金会资助的伯克利项目，旨在开发先进技术，监测从大气到树木、土壤、深层基岩水库和陡峭、森林覆盖的集水区的水的生命周期。这些组织和其他组织正在利用安吉洛作为一个受保护的研究地点，并作为进入更大的鳗鱼河流域的垫脚石，进行多尺度的调查，研究生物群和生态系统过程如何沿河网变化。这些研究正在提高我们预测土地利用变化、生物变化或气候变化的生态反应的能力。这些新建筑将帮助来自美国各地和几个国家的研究人员和学生住宿，还有助于与包括美国原住民在内的当地青年，特别是来自NCED合作机构明尼苏达州丰迪拉克部落学院的学生，以及与卡拉克领导人和青年(来自克拉马斯河中段，在我们网站以北约4小时处)进行交流，作为卡鲁克-伯克利合作研究森林-河流-水相互作用的一部分。

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.
