The study of embedded protostellar clusters is critical to understanding the complex environments where stars are most likely to form. In these dense cluster environments, energetic outflows accompany star formation, injecting momentum and energy into the cloud and likely feeding turbulent motion. NGC1333 is the ``prototypical'' nearby region for studying clustered star formation, as well as for modeling outflow-driven turbulence. We present CARMA observations of CO in NGC1333, mapping the region teeming with multiple interacting molecular outflows. The angular and velocity resolutions of CARMA allow us to search for previously undetected outflow candidates. By combining interferometer and single dish maps, our observations are sensitive to structures on scales of 0.006 to 1 pc at a distance 250 pc, significant for understanding turbulence and its impact on size scales of cores to clusters. We have determined the mass, momentum, and energy imparted by molecular outflows on these scales, and we show the outflows' impacts on the cloud structure and dynamics.
