Inventory and Monitoring in the Sierra Nevada, National Park Service
The Sierra Nevada Network is in the inventory phase of its I&M program. The monitoring phase is expected to begin in 2004. The network has identified and evaluated existing information; developed data management strategies and updated some existing resource databases; initiated some preliminary surveys of problematic amphibian groups, undersampled plant communities, unique vegetation types, and special status plants. A ... In order to reduce costs, the I&M program clusters individual parks with biological, physical and geographic affinities into networks. The Sierra Nevada Network includes Devils Postpile National Monument, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks and Yosemite National Park. The network concept offers efficiencies in designing and conducting inventory and monitoring work, and improved opportunities for exchange of ideas and information among parks. ... [Read More]

The interview is also an opportunity to speak to a diverse demographic of Nevadans. Diamond’s interview included commentary from Sierra Nevada Business & Community Liaison, Gregory J. Martin. “It’s great to have the support of the media in our community. In the past year we have made leaps and bounds in community awareness, but the battle is never over. Lotus Radio is just one of many companies becoming more familiar with our program. I featured our 2004-2005 40th Anniversary theme for the listeners. 40 years of service to the nations youth opens many doors that younger organizations are not able to.” ... [Read More]

Geology Resources Overview, Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks
While geologists debate the details, it is clear that the Sierra Nevada is a young mountain range, probably not more than 10 million years old. Incredible forces in the earth, probably associated with the development of the Great Basin, forced the mountains to grow and climb toward the sky. During the 10 million years at least four periods of glacial advance have coated the mountains in a thick mantle of ice. Glaciers form and develop during long periods of cool and wet weather. Today, a few small glaciers remain in the parks. They are the southern-most glaciers in North America. Glaciers move through the mountains like slow-motion rivers carving deep valleys and craggy peaks. The extensive history of glaciation within the range and the erosion resistant nature of the granitic rocks that make up most of the Sierra Nevada have together created a spectacular landscape of hanging valleys, towering waterfalls, craggy peaks, alpine lakes and gigantic glacial canyons. ...

U.S. Geological Survey , the program has involved more than 20 scientists from ten research institutions. The program set out to explore the fundamental character and significance of forest changes driven by the two most powerful agents of change in the Sierra Nevada: climate and fire. Studies are organized around three time periods: past, present and future. This organizational approach--modern mechanistic studies and extensive paleoecological studies informing one another under the integrative framework of state-of-the-art computer models--is a uniquely powerful way of exploring the character and significance of forest change. The diagram below summarizes the project organization. ... [Read More]
