The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will research, survey, and record the Jones Bar mining site for the Sierra District of State Parks. The site burned in the 2020 Jones Bar fire and new cultural features and artifacts may be exposed. It may have also been damaged by the fire. ASC will assess any damage. The site record will be provided to Parks for their records and filed with the appropriate information center.

Accurate estimates of forest carbon stock underpin the development of a global carbon market, yet estimates can vary in accuracy and utility. The proposed research will use a space-based laser (NASA's GEDI) to refine biomass estimations for Sequoia sempervirens redwood forests. These forests are of global importance because they represent areas of extremely high biomass (i.e. carbon stocks), and can provide a proof-of-concept approach that can be extended to validate carbon in other high-biomass forests. As contract work, Dr.

The ASC will develop an Interpretation Master Plan for Empire Mine State Historic Park. The project team will develop a baseline survey of interpretive infrastructure, current conditions and relevant programming. The project team will also examine visitor needs and interests through surveys, key personnel interviews, and visitor statistics. ASC will also hold regular meetings with State Parks and the Sierra Gold Parks Foundation as well as lead four public stakeholder meetings.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will conduct a cultural resources survey and inventory report for the East Bay Regional Park District’s Robertson Land Bank Trails Project. ASC will do three tasks to complete the project including: Background Research, Archaeological Field Survey and Recordation and Archaeological Resource Documentation and Archaeological Survey Report.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will undertake NHPA Section 106 evaluation and data recovery of the proposed Hotel Sebastopol project. The scope of work includes ground-penetrating radar survey, National Register of Historic Places evaluation and determination of eligibility, assessment of effects and mitigation measures for all affected cultural resources. The site is the location of Chinese- and Japanese-American settlement in Sebastopol from the 1870s through the 1940s.

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) will conduct a cultural resources survey of Calabazas Creek Regional Park. The cultural resources study will update the initial MND and is being prepared to support an IS/MND, Master Plan, and Resource Management Plan. Sonoma County Regional Parks is serving as the lead agency and the final cultural resources study report will address the California Environmental Quality Act of 1970, as amended.

Archaeological survey in support of the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, Sonoma-Lake-Napa (LNU)’s Sonoma Land Trust Vegetation Management Program (VMP) Project. The Sonoma Land Trust VMP is located approximately .5 miles east of Glenn Ellen in Sonoma County, California. The 2022 VMP proposes 4 burn units comprising approximately 74 acres. The Sonoma Land Trust VMP is situated on private land owned by Sonoma Land Trust and the Audubon Canyon Ranch. 

The Anthropological Studies Center (ASC) at Sonoma State University has been requested by the California Department of Parks and Recreation (DPR) and Sonoma County Land Trust (SCLT) to conduct an archaeological resources study of approximately 90 acres at Jack London State Historic Park near Glen Ellen, Sonoma County, California. The study would support planning and execution of a fuels reduction project funded by a Sonoma Valley Wildlands Collaborative grant.

To determine, to the extent possible, the presence or absence of archaeological resources at the 805 Bryant Street Project and to identify whether any archaeological resource that may be encountered on the project site constitutes an historical resource under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA).

Archaeological resources study of approximately 12 acres at the Tracy ACE Station site at 4800 Tracy Blvd in the town of Tracy for the San Joaquin Regional Rail Commission Project. The archaeological resources study is being prepared in support of a Categorical Exclusion (CE) under the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) of 1970, as amended.
