The symposium is designed to break down the what I call the 'fire wall' between scientific research and the management policies of various federal, state and regional agencies. Participating groups include the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, U.S. Geological Survey, U.S. Forest Service, Tahoe Regional Planning Agency, the University of Nevada, Reno and the University of California, Davis. The symposium's first day will provide an opportunity for the research community to share its collective knowledge of the state of science and research in the Basin, Seiber said. In addition, the day will identify opportunities for long-term research in the Basin. On the second day, agencies, researchers and the public will hold discussion and development of a long-term, coordinated research agenda.
All sessions are open to the public.
