Welcome to LRGCE
The Loma Ridge Global Change Experiment (LRGCE) is a field resource managed through a partnership between the University of California, Irvine, and the Irvine Ranch Conservancy. Together, we facilitate interdisciplinary research, training, and outreach opportunities for the benefit of scientists, practitioners and students.
Land acknowledgement: Loma Ridge is located on the shared and unceded ancestral homelands of the Tongva and Acjachemen Indigenous Peoples. To learn more about their history and culture, visit their websites: https://gabrielinotribe.org/ https://www.juaneno.com/
