Ecological Engineering Research Program
The Ecological Engineering Research Program (EERP) at the University of the Pacific is the lead scientific agency on several water quality and ecosystem restoration projects focused on understanding and improving water quality in the San Joaquin River (SJR). EERP projects include the development of a mass balance on phytoplankton and oxygen demanding materials in the SJR, evaluation of organic carbon sources and fate in the SJR, studies of wetland ecosystems, and studies examining the impact of current agricultural best management practices (BMPs) on water quality.
