Ecological research at the W. K. Kellogg Biological Station will be enhanced through improvement of the experimental pond facility and the addition of an image analysis system to the existing VAX computer. Nutrient-rich sediments in nine of 18 experimental ponds will be replaced with a marl-sand mixture to better reflect naturally occurring substrates in regional lake systems. The pond liners will be replaced with 20 mil PVC, while the single reservoir will be relined with UV resistant Hypolon (32 mil). The image analysis work station augments the research support capability of the Station's VAX computer system and provides for its further growth potential. These facility improvements augment a long history of research, a resident scientific staff of high calibre, an exceptional physical plant, and strong institutional support.

在W. K.凯洛格生物站 将通过改善实验池来提高 设施和增加一个图像分析系统， 现有的VAX计算机。 18个国家中有9个国家的 实验池塘将被泥灰岩和沙子的混合物所取代， 更好地反映区域湖泊中的天然基质 系统. 池塘内衬将被替换为20密耳PVC，而 单个储液器将重新内衬抗紫外线Hypolon (32 mil）。 图像分析工作站的建立为研究提供了补充 空间站VAX计算机系统的支持能力， 提供了进一步的增长潜力。 这些设施 改进增加了研究的悠久历史，居民 高素质的科研人员，一个特殊的物理工厂， 强大的机构支持。
