The California Mathematics Project: North Coast (CMP:NC) is one of 19 sites of a statewide network of University-based professional learning providers.  As a collaboration between SSU's Department of Mathematics and Statistics and School of Education and the Sonoma County Office of Education, CMP:NC has provided extended, multi-year professional learning opportunities to K-12 mathematics teachers from Marin County to the Oregon border since its founding in 1999.

The purpose of this Task Order is for the SSU to provide technical professional services to West Yost for the City of Ukiah/Russian River Watershed Association (RRWA) Task Order #5 contract 592-40-24-17 as follows:

The “Subscription” service will consist of a fixed fee annual payment that includes semi-annual delivery of the latest available digital information regarding historical resources (geo-location+resource, PDF+resource, database row), and reports (report geo-location+report, PDF+report, database row), for the entirety of the counties of Caltrans, District 4 that are maintained by the Northwest Information Center (NWIC). The services provide Caltrans with information crucial to the management and stewardship of resources under its ownership and control.

This project is a collaborative initiative focused on strengthening the STEM pipeline in our community by partnering with the Sonoma County Civil Air Patrol (CAP) to engage K-12 students in aerospace education and hands-on activities. By leveraging CAP's Aerospace Education Program, which covers a wide array of aerospace topics, the initiative aims to spark curiosity and enthusiasm for STEM subjects among students. The implementation plan emphasizes the use of project-based learning (PBL) and other active learning techniques to enhance student learning outcomes.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will perform as-needed Cultural Resource Services for the Hazardous Fuels Reduction Project. The Project requires a Task Order(TO) per assignment request. Each TO must outline the selected tasks from the As-Needed Scope of Work and a Not-To-Exceed amount of $50,000/year.

Despite the role of wildfire in maintaining biodiversity and ecosystem function, recent trends are toward large-extent, high-severity wildfires in California. The wildfire research and management communities need better data on forest fuel distributions to better predict wildfire impacts and guide management strategies. We will address this pressing need by conducting a multi-part analysis of large wildfires in California using contemporary information on forest structure measured by NASA's Global Ecosystem Dynamics Investigation (GEDI) space-based lidar.

Sonoma State will host regional K-12 District administrators, staff and counselors regarding the California College Guidance Initiative (CCGI). CCGI has received funding from the State of California to develop collaborative partnerships with regional county offices of education and/or higher education campuses to support local educational agency utilization of the College and Career Guidance Initiative’s statewide college and career planning tools.
