Environmental Protection Indicators for California (EPIC)
The Environmental Protection Indicators for California (EPIC) project is a collaborative effort of the California Environmental Protection Agency (Cal/EPA), the Resources Agency, the Department of Health Services, and an external advisory group consisting of representatives from business, public interest groups, academia, and local government. The project, led by Cal/EPA's Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment (OEHHA), is responsible for developing and maintaining a set of "environmental indicators" for California.

Indicators of Climate Change in California: Environmental Justice Impacts
[12/31/10] -
Posters highlighting some of climate change indicators discussed in the report, Indicators of Climate Change in California , are currently on display at the State Capitol outside the Governor's Office (until August 16, 2010) and at the lobby of the Cal/EPA Building. The report, published in 2009, presents about 25 indicators that track trends in the drivers of climate change, changes in climate, and the impacts of these changes on physical and biological systems. Among the indicators included are greenhouse gas emissions, atmospheric concentrations of carbon dioxide, ambient air temperatures, winter chill, extreme heat events, spring snowmelt runoff, forest vegetation patterns, and small mammal habitat range shifts. More information on these and other indicators can be found at: http://www.oehha.ca.gov/multimedia/epic/index.html
