Limnological Publications

A list of my and my colleagues publications on Clear Lake can be found on the Clear Lake Environmental Research Center web site. You may also want to check out the Center for Ecological Health site. Much of the Clear Lake work has been done under CEHR auspices, as has much related work by Davis investigators working in other watersheds.

For a layman's introduction to the history and natural history of Clear Lake, see The Ample Charms of a Well-Fed Lake, Scott O. Richerson (Adobe pdf file). Much of what is in Ample Charms appears in the Putah-Cache Bioregion Guidebook.
