An Integrated Science Plan for the Lake Tahoe Basin: Conceptual Framework and Research Strategies- (2.80MB)
An integrated science plan was developed to identify and refine contemporary science information needs for the Lake Tahoe basin ecosystem. The main objectives were to describe a conceptual framework for an integrated science program, and to develop research strategies addressing key uncertainties and information gaps that challenge government agencies in the theme areas of:
- air quality
- water quality
- soil conservation
- ecology and biodiversity
- social sciences
The research priorities are best reviewed and revised regularly to ensure they reflect the changing information needs and evolving priorities of agencies charged with the welfare of the Lake Tahoe basin.

5th Biennial Lake Tahoe Basin Science Conference
Mark your calendars for the 5th Biennial Conference to learn about the progress made in understanding the Lake Tahoe Basin environment. This two-day event (March 16-17, 2010) will be held at the Tahoe Center for Environmental Sciences in Incline Village, Nevada.
The purpose of this two-day conference is to provide an open forum in which individuals involved in the science and management of the Basin can learn about and discuss the latest relevant science and information. A "Call for Abstracts" will be distributed on October 15, 2009. Interested parties will have the opportunity to provide either oral or poster presentations.
The conference is hosted by the Tahoe Science Consortium. For more information, click here.
