Overview
Science.gov
Science.gov is a gateway to authoritative selected science
information provided by U.S. Government agencies, including
research and development results.
Park
Science
The quarterly research and resource management bulletin
of the National Park Service.
U.S.
National Park Service Research Permit and Reporting System
This site helps investigators find out about park needs for research, apply
for permission to conduct scientific studies pertaining to natural resources
or social sciences within park units, and to report on their research
accomplishments.
Research in the Parks
National parks serve as outdoor laboratories for the study
of physical, biological, and cultural systems and their
components.
Research Learning Centers
Research Learning Centers have been developed to facilitate research efforts and
provide educational opportunities for all people to gain new knowledge about the
National Parks. These Centers are places where science and education come
together to preserve and protect areas of national significance. They have been
designed as public-private partnerships that involve a wide range of people and
organizations including researchers, universities, educators, and community groups.
GeoScientists-in-the-Parks
The National Park Service is looking for experienced earth
science professionals and students to work with park staffs
to help them understand and manage the resources through
examining the geology, water, air, and integrated sciences.
The work varies greatly from park to park and may be broad
or specific in scope.
Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Units (CESUs)
A network of cooperative research units established
to provide research, technical assistance, and education
to resource and environmental managers. Each CESU is structured
as a working collaboration among federal agencies and
universities.
Sabbaticals in the Parks
The Sabbatical in the Parks Program was created to assist
in arranging faculty sabbaticals to conduct research and
other scholarly activity, which provides usable knowledge
for NPS management and/or advances science and human understanding.
History
Theme: Science
The Park History Program provides access to numerous publications,
reports, and online books related to history within the
park service.
Benefits Sharing in the National Parks Environmental Assessment
The National Park Service (NPS) is beginning a process
to evaluate the environmental impacts of implementing
benefits-sharing agreements with scientists who conduct
research in the national parks.
Joint Fire Science Program
The Joint Fire Science Program (JFSP) was established
through a six agency partnership to fill the gaps in knowledge
about wildland fire and fuels.
Environmental
Contaminants Encyclopedia
A tool which can be used to quickly ascertain general
information about 118 environmental toxicology elements,
compounds, and products.
Aldo Leopold Wilderness Research Institute
A tool which can be used to quickly ascertain general information about 118 environmental toxicology elements, compounds, and products.
