The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will design and develop interpretive displays and products for the recreation hall barrack relocated to its original location at Amache, Colorado. The interpretive products created may be designed for use in various media including but not limited to interior or exterior signage, printed media, digital media, virtual tours, or cell phone apps.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will complete Caltrans required documentation of the Lake County Hazardous Tree Removal survey and monitoring in Caltrans specific report format (Historic Property Survey Report, Archaeological Survey Report, etc.) and as addendum reports. Assist with coordination with the Tribal Representatives from Yoche Dehe for monitoring sensitive areas on BLM land. ASC will contract with and pay Yoche Dehe for past and future monitoring associated with this project.

The goal of this effort is to provide the Lake Thurmond project with a GIS tool that will help the project efficiently inventory and manage its cultural resources. Predictive modeling as used in this contract means: A technique that tries to predict the location of archaeological sites or materials in a region, based either on a sample of that region or on fundamental notions concerning human behavior. The model developed shall result in a quantitative estimate of the probability of encountering archaeological remains that have not been previously discovered or recorded in the past.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will design and develop interpretive displays and products for the reconstructed residential barrack located in its original location at Amache, Colorado. The interpretive products created may be designed for use in various media including but not limited to interior or exterior signage, printed media, digital media, virtual tours, or cell phone apps.

The goal of this effort is to provide the Lake Hartwell project with a GIS tool that will help the project efficiently inventory and manage its cultural resources. Predictive modeling as used in this contract means: A technique that tries to predict the location of archaeological sites or materials in a region, based either on a sample of that region or on fundamental notions concerning human behavior. The model developed shall result in a quantitative estimate of the probability of encountering archaeological remains that have not been previously discovered or recorded in the past.

The Northwest Information Center (NWIC) agrees to assist the County of Sonoma in fulfilling a portion of its regulatory obligation in regard to cultural resources, as related to the preparation of an Initial Study. Staff at this office will review information on the NWIC’s maps and in its files and databases based on a project description provided by the County.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will revise the existing Archaeological Testing Plan (ATP) at the 198 Valencia Street Project site in San Francisco, CA, which will require reviewing the design changes, revising text to refer to correct design elements and project activities, revising images and plans to include areas for monitoring, re-assessing potential archaeological sensitivity and preparing details of how monitoring will be implemented. 

Recent, massive loss of kelp forests along the coast of northern California has sparked intense concern and strong impetus to restore this crucial ecosystem. This grant will support the integrated research program focused on solutions. In particular, target approaches for offsetting consequences of three key correlates of the kelp decline, which include 1) anomalously high seawater temperatures that likely induced stress in the canopy-forming bull kelp (Nereocystis luetkeana), 2) a widespread outbreak of the purple urchin (Strongylocentrotus purpuratus), the dominant grazer of N.

This project is a multi-investigator interdisciplinary study using the northern elephant seal as a model system to significantly improve our understanding of the response of marine mammals to exposure from multiple anthropogenic stressors. Our team will integrate physiological and ecological approaches including immunology, stress physiology, toxicology, animal behavior, population biology, and life history theory to examine cumulative effects of exposure to multiple stressors in elephant seals.

In support of SSU's commitment and goal to serve underrepresented and underserved student populations, TRIO SSS-Multilingual Achievers Program provides multilingual and educationally under-prepared students with individualized math and writing assistance.
