Background/History of the Laboratory:
There are over 130 scientists working in
the California Water Science Center and their expertise and interests
span a very broad range of disciplinary approaches to modern water management issues. The majority of
senior Center scientists have been officially recognized as "Research and Development Scientists"
by the
USGS for their ongoing scientific contributions, demonstrated excellence in scientific pursuits, leadership,
and
the impact their work has had on both the development of scientific knowledge and its application to
real world
management problems.
There are many opportunities to collaborate with researchers
at the Center. Many of the projects are conducted
by multidisciplinary teams whose members include scientists from other USGS offices, universities, and
our
partner agencies. Several of the most senior researchers have hosted post-doctoral fellows and hold
joint
appointments at nearby universities.
