Integrative Project Areas

The new CAP2 organization features groupings of researchers called "Integrative Project Areas"; defined by the subject matter of our investigations, and "Working Groups," defined by the tools and approaches to the science. Relationships of IPA to the LTER core areas are shown in the figure below. A refers to landscaping experiments that focus partly on control of primary productivity through watering regimes; B the response of human water-management institutions to drought; and C the interaction of long-term climate trends and resilience of social institutions.

There is a great deal of overlap and sharing of talent among the IPAs and permanent working groups (PWGs). Additional informal working groups are created to deal with immediate needs of specific projects.
