Welcome

The Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research (MPCER) promotes cross-disciplinary research and education to understand critical environmental processes and the implications of change resulting from human activities. Additionally, the MPCER has been instrumental in developing and supporting infrastructure needed to advance both research and education. Through its efforts, the MPCER is helping to create the scientific knowledge and understanding needed to address significant environmental challenges, including climate change and biodiversity loss. Since its inception, the geographic focus of the MPCER has expanded beyond the Colorado Plateau to include research sites in places as far away as the Mariana Islands.

The Merriam-Powell Center for Environmental Research is a proud co-sponsor of the 12th Biennial Conference of Science and Management on the Colorado Plateau!
