Scientists and resource managers have conducted studies at Crater Lake National Park in some capacity since the early 1900’s. The information from these studies helps to guide management decisions that protect and preserve the park’s natural and cultural resources. Studies range from short-term projects that occur in a single season, to long-term monitoring that span decades. The park relies on teamwork from seasonal and full-time staff, along with researchers from other agencies and non-government organizations, like college universities.
