Oil Spill Response | California Conservation Corps
After the 1989 Exxon Valdez grounding, the CCC began to explore the possibility of greater involvement in cleanup and recovery efforts. Subsequently, the CCC received a grant from BP to develop an oil spill response training program and curriculum that initially prepared two hundred corpsmembers in Humboldt and Ventura Counties for deployment.
Since then, the CCC has worked closely with the Department of Fish and Game’s Office of Spill Prevention and Response (OSPR) program to routinely train our Corpsmembers. OSPR developed the new Hazardous Waste Operations and Emergency Response (HAZWOPER) 24-hour Site Worker manual used for training corpsmembers statewide.
The goal is for Corpsmembers to recognize, evaluate, and protect themselves from hazards commonly found at wastes sites. The CCC annually conducts statewide 40-hour HAZWOPER training with Corpsmembers. The Corps is committed to providing the best possible training to its Corpsmembers and staff, and to making crews readily available to respond where needed in California.

Green power is a type of renewable energy that comes from resources and technologies that provide the most environmental benefit.

 Learn more about Green Power and Green Power products in your state.

On average, green power costs roughly 2 cents per kWh more than conventional power.

Even though it's a gas, CO2 is measured in units of mass such as pounds, kilograms, and tons. Below are some useful comparisons to put CO2 emissions in context*:

 
100 lb of CO2 = emissions from burning 5 gallons of gasoline
500 lb of CO2 = emissions from burning 244 pounds of coal
1,000 lb of CO2 = emissions from burning 1.1 barrels of oil

 *Equivalents are from EPA's Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator

General Information About the CCC

 

What is the CCC?

The California Conservation Corps is a state agency, certified by The Corps Network, enrolling young adults, 18 to 25, for a year of natural resource work and emergency response. Simply stated, the CCC puts youth and the environment together to benefit both.
The young adults of the CCC work hard protecting and restoring California’s environment, responding to disasters, becoming stronger workers, citizens and individuals through their service.
 
 
How long has the CCC been around?

The California Conservation Corps was created by Governor Jerry Brown in July 1976. Governor George Deukmejian signed legislation making the CCC a permanent state agency in 1983. Click here for more CCC history.
 
 
What's the connection to the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s?

Governor Brown modeled the program in part after the federal Civilian Conservation Corps established by President Franklin Roosevelt in 1933. The original CCC, in operation from 1933 to 1942, put men to work during the Depression. Here in California, the “CCC boys” built most of California’s state parks.
 
 
Was B.T. Collins the first director?

The late B.T. Collins served as CCC director from 1979-1981, following Boyd Hornor and LeRoy Chatfield.
History
The Gravity Recovery and Climate Satellite (GRACE) launched in 2002 and operated until 2017. Its successor, GRACE-Follow On, launched in 2018. JPL also won a cloud research mission, CloudSat, launched in 2006, as well as a series of atmospheric carbon dioxide measuring missions, the Orbiting Carbon Observatories, and the Aquarius sea surface salinity mission. JPL's most recent ESSP mission, ECOSTRESS, was attached to the International Space Station in May 2019. The Cloudsat spacecraft being assembled. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech JPL has also hosted aircraft-based missions and instruments, including JPL's Oceans Melting Greenland (OMG) series of expeditions; the Airborne Microwave Observatory of Subcanopy and subsurface; the Airborne Snow Observatory; CORAL; the AVIRIS imaging spectrometer, and the UAVSAR synthetic aperture radar. Many of these missions are aimed at tracking Earth's changing climate but contribute to other needs, too. And several missions improve weather forecasts.Planetary revivalJPL's first planetary mission approval after Galileo's in 1977 was the 1983 approval of the Magellan radar mapping mission to Venus. It was followed by approval of a series of low-cost planetary missions called "Planetary Observers," starting with Mars Observer. Like Magellan, Mars Observer was intended to fly on the space shuttle, but following the Challenger tragedy the spacecraft launched on a Titan III rocket in 1992. Magellan being released from Space Shuttle Atlantis in May 1989. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech While Magellan enjoyed a very successful mission to map most of Venus' surface via radar, Mars Observer disappeared shortly before it was to go into orbit around Mars. With Mars Observer went the Planetary Observer line of missions—no more were built.Magellan's approval built momentum for the Cassini-Huygens mission to Saturn, a more complex and difficult political effort. Cassini-Huygens mission was a joint NASA-European Space Agency (ESA) mission, with NASA providing the launch vehicle and JPL-built orbiter, and ESA providing an atmosphere entry probe targeted at the Saturnian moon Titan. ESA approved the joint mission in 1988, and NASA followed in 1989.
Global Warming
Canada’s Athabasca Glacier has been shrinking by about 15 meters per year. In the past 125 years, the glacier has lost half its volume and has retreated more than 1.5 kilometers. As glaciers retreat, sea ice disappears, and snow melts earlier in the spring, the Earth absorbs more sunlight than it would if the reflective snow and ice remained. (Photograph ©2005 Hugh Saxby.)

Water Vapor
The largest feedback is water vapor. Water vapor is a strong greenhouse gas. In fact, because of its abundance in the atmosphere, water vapor causes about two-thirds of greenhouse warming, a key factor in keeping temperatures in the habitable range on Earth. But as temperatures warm, more water vapor evaporates from the surface into the atmosphere, where it can cause temperatures to climb further.
The question that scientists ask is, how much water vapor will be in the atmosphere in a warming world? The atmosphere currently has an average equilibrium or balance between water vapor concentration and temperature. As temperatures warm, the atmosphere becomes capable of containing more water vapor, and so water vapor concentrations go up to regain equilibrium. Will that trend hold as temperatures continue to warm?
The amount of water vapor that enters the atmosphere ultimately determines how much additional warming will occur due to the water vapor feedback. The atmosphere responds quickly to the water vapor feedback. So far, most of the atmosphere has maintained a near constant balance between temperature and water vapor concentration as temperatures have gone up in recent decades. If this trend continues, and many models say that it will, water vapor has the capacity to double the warming caused by carbon dioxide alone.
Clouds
Closely related to the water vapor feedback is the cloud feedback. Clouds cause cooling by reflecting solar energy, but they also cause warming by absorbing infrared energy (like greenhouse gases) from the surface when they are over areas that are warmer than they are. In our current climate, clouds have a cooling effect overall, but that could change in a warmer environment.

Clouds can both cool the planet (by reflecting visible light from the sun) and warm the planet (by absorbing heat radiation emitted by the surface). On balance, clouds slightly cool the Earth. (NASA Astronaut Photograph STS31-E-9552 courtesy Johnson space Center Earth Observations Lab.)

 History
 JPL's beginningsThe origins of the Jet Propulsion Laboratory date back to the 1930s, when Caltech professor Theodore von Kármán oversaw pioneering work in rocket propulsion. After unsuccessful and sometimes hazardous experiments, several graduate students led by Frank Malina, along with rocket enthusiasts from the Pasadena area, moved their work off campus. They chose the Arroyo Seco, a dry canyon wash north of the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California – and future home of JPL.View a List of JPL Firsts 
 Historic Timeline

Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech The Caltech group's first tests of an alcohol-fueled rocket motor in the riverbed wilderness area took place on October 31, 1936. As the group improved their rocket motors, von Kármán, who also served as a scientific adviser to the U.S. Army Air Corps, persuaded the Army to fund development of jets mounted on heavy propeller planes to assist take-off from short runways. The Army helped Caltech acquire land in the Arroyo Seco for test pits and temporary workshops. Flight tests at nearby air bases proved the concept and tested the designs. By this time, World War II had begun and demand for the motors grew. A Douglas A-20 bomber testing JPL liquid-fueled Jet-Assisted Take Off motors in 1942. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech In 1943, the Army asked von Kármán for a technical analysis of the German V-2 program discovered by Allied intelligence. He and his research team proposed a U.S. research project to understand, duplicate and improve upon the missiles beginning to bombard England.
Funding Your Projects | California Conservation Corps
Proposition 68: The CCC received an allocation of $40 million for natural resource conservation projects assisting with climate adaptation and resiliency, of which approximately half is dedicated for projects worked by certified local corps. Project sponsors, also referred to as applicants, can develop projects directly with the CCC, however funding amounts are limited.
Applicants can apply to other agencies for larger amounts of Prop 68 funds, and can receive preference by consulting with the CCC or certified local corps on the projects. Contact your nearest CCC center or prop68@ccc.ca.gov for more information.
Proposition 1: The CCC is available to provide affordable labor for many Prop 1 projects focused on rivers, lakes, streams, coastal waters and watersheds. The application process for these types of projects requires project sponsors to consult with the California Conservation Corps or a local conservation corps to determine if there are portions of the project work that can be done by corps programs. The CCC can typically complete the consultation within ten days. Contact prop1@ccc.ca.gov for more information.
Active Transportation Program: The CCC receives a $4 million annual allocation shared with certified local corps to fund projects encouraging increased use of active modes of transportation. Applicants can also seek larger ATP funds through other agencies. Successful ATP proposals require a consultation with the CCC and certified local corps. Partnering with the CCC or local corps improves the application’s overall score. Contact your nearest CCC center or atp@ccc.ca.gov for more information.
Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund – Forest Health: The CCC receives a $2.5 million annual allocation to complete forest health projects as part of the California Climate Investments initiative’s goal to reduce Greenhouse Gas emissions. Contact your nearest CCC center or email courtnie.braziel@ccc.ca.gov for more information.
Tribal Youth Nature-Based Solutions Conservation Corps: The CCC received $10 million to fund corps programs operated by California Native American tribes – recognized or unrecognized.
