Research Topics

The Pacific Southwest Research Station has served for more than 75 years on the leading edge of natural resource research, technology development, and applications (RD&A). During this period, demands for RD&A products, credible science assessments of natural resource issues, and scientific perspective on policy debates have grown tremendously.

The number of people we serve and who use our products has grown and diversified, especially during the last decade of the 20th century. Trends indicate further growth and diversification in our customers and customers' needs to shape how we change and grow in the 21st century. Through a strong and credible research program, from the most basic to the most applied, we will pursue our goal: to bring good science to life in the natural resources arena.
