The Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research
promotes interdisciplinary research, education and outreach throughout
the region. We foster collaborations among scientists, land-managers,
and educators to 1) understand environmental processes essential for
functioning ecosystems, 2) apply scientific knowledge for the development
of effective strategies that will ensure intact ecosystems for future
generations.
Watershed Research & Education Program
Our mission is to promote and support water resources research, education and outreach in north-central Arizona watersheds and to provide, via our website, a centralized, coordinated, and supported location for storage and exchange of north-central Arizona watershed information.
Also, the WREP Policy Workshop 2009 will take place this year July 27th. Arizona, the Colorado Plateau and Australia share many similarities regarding climate change, water resources, and related policy decisions.The parallels of the Colorado Plateau and Australia, with supporting science, and corresponding policy decisions will provide the framework of this ground-breaking policy workshop.
Climate Change at NAU
Climate change has become a nearly ubiquitous topic in today’s world. The media, scientists, policymakers, business leaders, and citizens are engaged in an impassioned dialogue about the extent to which the planet is changing and how these changes might affect our societies.
Some facts are certain. Human activities, like burning fossil fuels and raising livestock, certainly contribute to the build-up of greenhouse gases. Just how much of these changes can be attributed to natural climatic variations? What is the relationship between anthropogenic and natural causes of climate change?
