Pika

2008 Season

The Center will continue to draw investigators to Crater Lake during Summer 2008 to conduct research. Our Science Coordinator will be contacting faculty at area universities to discuss potential areas of collaborative study and student projects.

We have already been successful in securing National Park Service project funding for a biogeographical study of pikas this fall. We also will be building on the success of last year’s “bio blitz” by conducting another bio intensive inventory of lichens throughout the park next summer. Finally, two grants awarded to the Oregon Institute of Technology from Klamath County and the State of Oregon will support 1-2 student projects in the Park this year (2008) and next (2009).

We are currently adding lots of new information to our site, so come back soon!
