Dozens of researchers work at the Angelo Reserve each year. They range from undergraduate and graduate students working on class and thesis projects, to large multidisciplinary teams of scientists focused on a specific aspect of the reserve. “Mapping the Future” will focus on three major research efforts currently working at the reserve.
The Keck HydroWatch Center
Funded by the W.M. Keck Foundation, and administered by the Berkeley Institute of the Environment, the Keck HydroWatch Center dramatically expands the observations of all aspects of the water cycle by developing cost-effective, rapid-response, and accurate sensors and techniques to monitor water quality, quantity, and pathways.

The National Center for Earth Surface Dynamics
Funded by the National Science Foundation’s Science and Technology Program, this multidisciplinary project focuses on understanding the processes that shape the Earth’s surface and the life forms that inhabit it. For more information, go to: Earth Surface.
The National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping (NCALM)
Funded by the National Science Foundation, NCALM provides NSF-funded researchers with precise Airborne Laser Swath Mapping (ALSM) data that reveal landforms that lie below natural and human-made obstructions. At the Angelo Reserve, researchers are using the technology to generate both high-resolution canopy and bare-earth digital elevation models of the watershed.
