Other resources

CAMFER is dedicated to providing innovative, state-of-the-art monitoring of environment using geospatial technologies (GIS, GPS and Remote Sensing). CAMFER research and outreach staff conduct studies in wetland monitoring and modeling, atmospheric emissions, forest biometrics, and watershed modeling, among other topics.

Shared Facilities
MVZ's Laboratory for evolutionary genetics	Many researchers in the MVZ are collecting genetic data to untangle evolutionary history and/or to test behavioral hypotheses. The Museum and Department of Integrative Biology maintain a state-of-the-art shared genetics lab, occupying several rooms on the 4th floor of the VLSB. The lab is equipped for DNA extraction, PCR amplification, agarose gel electrophoresis, allozyme electrophoresis, DNA sequencing, microsatellite development and screening, AFLP screening, library construction, cloning, and preliminary data analysis.
Biological Imaging Facility	The Facility functions as an instructional and research facility for all aspects of modern light microscopy including confocal microscopy, deconvolution microscopy, computer image processing and analysis, fluorescence in situ hybridization, immunolocalization, and most other microscope techniques applicable to developmental biology.
Electron Microscope Laboratory	The Electron Microscope Laboratory (EML) is located in 26 Giannini Hall in the North basement. The EML is an instruction and research unit of the College of Letters and Sciences, providing EM services to the Berkeley campus and the academic community at large.
Geographic Information Science Center (GISC)	The fundamental mission of the center is to raise the level of GIS expertise on the entire campus and to stimulate cross disciplinary education, research, and cooperation using these technologies.
Scientific Visualization Center	Located in the Valley Life Sciences Building, the Scientific Visualization Center (SVC) provides the campus community, primarily faculty and students in the Department of Integrative Biology, the resources to explore the motion and morphology of life in all its many forms using computer and video imaging.
Center for Stable Isotope Biogeochemistry	This state of art Mass Spectrometry facility provides the campus and wider community with stable isotope analysis of gaseous, liquid and solid samples.
Marian Koshland Bioscience and Natural Resources Library	The Library at UC Berkeley contains one of the finest research collections in the country. The Library consists of Doe Library, the Bancroft Library, Moffitt Library, and more than 20 subject specialty libraries serving a variety of academic disciplines. The Marian Koshland Bioscience and Natural Resource Library is house in the Valley Life Sciences Building and is one of the largest subject specialty libraries on the Berkeley campus with over 542,000 volumes.
Glasshouses, Insectary & Quarantine Facility	The Oxford Tract, just across the road from the main UC Berkeley campus, encompasses an area which houses the North greenhouse facility, South Greenhouse Facility, Natural resource Laboratory, Insectary Greenhouse, Insectary, 1.5 acres of open field planting space and an instructional garden classroom. The Insectary and Quarantine facility provides insect-rearing support and quarantine facilities for experiments with non-natives.

Center for Biological Control	The Center for Biological Control at the University of California-Berkeley, facilitates the implementation of biological control through research, training and extension programs, supports meetings and workshops for intellectual discussion, and provides a structure for the development of interagency cooperation for biological control activities.
Center for the Assessment and Monitoring of Forest and Environmental Resources (CAMFER)	CAMFER is dedicated to providing innovative, state-of-the-art monitoring of environment using geospatial technologies (GIS, GPS and Remote Sensing). CAMFER research and outreach staff conduct studies in wetland monitoring and modeling, atmospheric emissions, forest biometrics, and watershed modeling, among other topics.
California Oak Mortality Task Force (COMTF)	The California Oak Mortality Task Force (COMTF) focuses on the plant pathogen Phytophthora ramorum, which can have devastating effects in the wildlands it inhabits and has had substantial impacts on the nursery industry internationally.
Center for Forestry	The Mission of the Center for Forestry is to sustain forested ecosystems through scientific inquiry. Our approach is comprehensive. We seek to create and disseminate knowledge concerning ecosystem processes, human interactions and value systems, and restoration and operational management practices.
Center for Fire Research and Outreach	The goal of the Center is to serve as a focal point for science-based solutions to fire-related challenges.
Seminars
MVZ Lunch seminar in evolutionary Biology (weekly) Botany lunch (weekly) Ecolunch (weekly) Wildlife and Conservation Biology Seminar (weekly) Integrative Biology Departmental Seminars (up to twice weekly) Environmental Science policy and Management Departmental Seminar (weekly) Animal Behavior Lunch (weekly)	The richness and depth of research at Berkeley is shown by the sheer wealth of seminar series on campus. A weekly compilation of talks on ecology, evolution and environmental science topics is maintained by the California Biodiversity Center here. This includes many talks on evolutionary and systematic topics.
