This Biological Facilities Center proposal requests funds to establish a joint facility for Regional Ecosystem Analysis. Scientists at Colorado State University's Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory and College of Forestry and Natural Resources and the University of Colorado's Institute for Arctic and Alpine Research and Center for the Study of Earth from Space will participate in this joint facility for interdisciplinary research. The facility will build on major existing equipment in image processing and simulation modeling but will be expanded to include new mesoscale remote sensing instrumentation, image enhancement and analysis systems, and geographic data analysis software, all integrated into a system that will allow scientists at both institutions to share this powerful technology and cooperate in regional-scale research. Remote sensing creates regional data bases, image processing and spatial data analysis transform and manipulate these data, ecosystems modeling provides a predictive tool for extrapolation. By combining these into a single facility, these techniques will enable a quantum leap in research capabilities.

该生物设施中心提案要求资金用于 建立区域生态系统分析联合设施。 科罗拉多州立大学自然资源研究所的科学家们 生态学实验室和林业与自然资源学院 以及科罗拉多大学的北极和高山研究所 从太空研究地球研究中心将 参加这个跨学科的联合设施， research. 该设施将建立在现有的主要设备上， 图像处理和模拟建模，但将扩展到 包括新中尺度遥感仪器、图像 增强和分析系统以及地理数据分析 软件，所有这些都集成到一个系统中， 在这两个机构分享这一强大的技术， 开展区域性研究。 遥感创造了 区域数据库、图像处理和空间数据分析 转换和操纵这些数据，生态系统建模提供了 一种预测外推的工具。 通过将这些组合成一个 单一设施，这些技术将使一个量子飞跃， 研究能力。
