P016: Tahoe Science Consortium (TSC)

The Tahoe Science Consortium (TSC) is a unique partnership between three academic institutions and two federal agencies: Desert Research Institute, University of California-Davis, University of Nevada-Reno, USDA Forest Service-Pacific Southwest Research Station, and the U.S. Geological Survey. The Consortium promotes integration among the many current and future scientific projects in the basin, prioritizing future research informed by a comprehensive science plan, creating an environment that promotes the contributions of the best available science, and emphasizing close cooperation with land and resource managers to facilitate the transfer of information in an effective manner.
