The Best Available Science for Conservation in a Changing World
What We Do
We apply innovative science and technology
to address critical conservation problems related
to threatened and endangered species, habitat
protection and restoration, and climate change.  

Our approach involves application of solid foundations from basic science (ecology, conservation
biology, climatology, statistics, etc.), advanced technology (remote sensing, field-based sensors,
geographic information systems, etc.), and field biology (habitat characterization, population
monitoring, vegetation analysis, etc.), to gain a comprehensive understanding of natural
systems.  We develop conservation management solutions to meet the needs of diverse
customers, including government agencies and private companies.

Sunday, August 12, 2007, Creekside Center for Earth
Observation work on nitrogen deposition impacts was
reported in the national news as "the biggest global
change that nobody has ever heard of", and grazing for
habitat restoration was reported to "turn thinking on its
head about the ecological effects of cattle".
