This project is funding the purchase of field and laboratory equipment to support environmental education at the university. The equipment forms the core of the Environmental Instrumentation Lab (EIL) for use by undergraduates in integrated Environmental Geology and Biology courses and for B.S. Thesis research in both departments. The EIL provides hands-on experience with the sophisticated analytical tools commonly used in environmental investigations. Undergraduate students learn both abiotic and biotic analytical field and laboratory methods. These tools are used in the characterization, assessment, and restoration/management aspects of particular sites. Results from these investigations are synthesized to provide the basis for long-term monitoring of the sites studied, thus providing a real-world approach to environmental investigations that require ecosystem level analyses.

该项目正在资助购买实地和实验室设备，以支持大学的环境教育。 该设备形成了环境仪器实验室（EIL）的核心，供本科生在综合环境地质学和生物学课程中使用，并为学士学位。 两个部门的论文研究。 EIL提供环境调查中常用的复杂分析工具的实践经验。 本科生学习非生物和生物分析领域和实验室方法。 这些工具用于特定遗址的特征描述、评估和恢复/管理方面。 这些调查的结果进行了综合，为长期监测研究的网站提供了基础，从而提供了一个现实世界的方法，需要生态系统水平的分析环境调查。
