To achieve this purpose, CHE:

- Facilitates the exchange of information between academic scientists, resource agencies and the public.
- Provides research and training opportunities to visiting scholars, graduate and undergraduate students as well as postdoctoral fellows.
- Provides specialized research facilities, expertise and equipment to investigators both on and off the UC Davis campus.
CHE is a center of excellence within the UC Davis Institute of the Environment and an organized research unit under the UC Davis Office of Research.
