This work combined with work along the northern California coast in Sonoma and Mendocino Counties will provide a scientific basis for evaluating the efficacy of large-scale purple urchin removal and kelp outplanting as a kelp restoration tool in the Northern California/Southern Oregon marine ecoregion, directly informing future management actions to protect this iconic underwater forests in the face of changing ocean conditions.

This grant will fund an extension of Tinker Academy, which is a free two-week STEM summer academy for middle-school students that is a collaboration among the Career Technical Education Foundation, the Sonoma State School of Science and Technology, and the SSU Library. Tinker Academy teaches STEM skills through maker activities, including coding, robotics, sewing, 3-D modeling, and crafting. Participants are provided free lunch and materials.

This project will assess the effectiveness of forest health treatments for coastal California forests and identify agency characteristics that influence scaling to landscape levels. This work seeks to identify cost-benefit tradeoffs of competing forest health treatments, determine the threat posed by biologically-driven fuels accumulation, assess effectiveness of a set of contrasting forest treatments aimed at controlling fuels and mitigating disease impacts, and identify agency capacity to apply treatments at scale.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will conduct and report on historic archeological research and field investigations on those portions of the Fort Barry Rifle Ranch (FBRR) to be affected by the removal of lead bearing soils by the Army Corps of Engineer. ASC will discuss findings and recommendations for any necessary mitigation and treatment, both before and after lead remediation by Army Corps of Engineers.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will conduct various on-call archaeological monitoring and/or facilitate tribal cultural monitoring throughout the California Department of Parks and Recreation, Bay Area District. These projects and tasks include, but are not limited to, conducting archaeological testing, monitoring services, surveys, consulting, and providing various reports; locate, inventory and assemble database of District archaeological collections housed outside of the State Archaeological Collections Research Facility (SACRF); integrate data into Parks Cultural Resource

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will assist the California Department of Parks and Recreation (CA State Parks) with various Cultural Resource Management work as needed.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC)'s work performed under this contract will occur on an on-call basis and will be in support of the Cultural Resources Division's (CRD) periodic responses to incidents, such as, but not limited to, wildland fires, earthquakes, floods, hazardous material spills, and other natural- and human-caused incidents.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will revise and update the Amache Interpretation Master Plan. An updated interpretive plan will more fully integrate the needs, perspectives, and voices of a stakeholder community that has substantially grown in the last decade and consider the new and continued ways in which this community interacts with the site. New advancements in technology and the opportunities they present now and for the future will also be updated.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will be conducting a cultural resources study for the Lake Berryessa Resort Improvement District (LBRID) Ground Water Inflow Mitigation Design Project in Napa County. The Napa County Flood Control and Water Conservation District proposes to install a deep trench to intercept groundwater and route it away from the existing treatment ponds, minor grading along an existing road and ditch, and the replacement of the original and existing influent above grade influent piping to the primary ponds in the Area of Potential Effects (APE).
