This award provides funds to help in construction of a multi-user experimental research facility (pole barn) at the Cornell Biological Field Station (CBFS) on Oneida Lake. The facility will be outfitted with access to low pressure aeration, drains, ground fault electrical service, controlled temperature, natural and artificial light, natural diurnal light and temperature, experimental tanks (differing in size and volume), and walk-in environmental chambers. The new tanks will permit a range of experiments in biogeochemistry, fish bioenergetics, nutrient dynamics, and land-water interactions.The CBFS research program includes long-term studies of Oneida Lake, a focus on large lake limnology, and the training of graduate and undergraduate students in field research. Understanding the mechanisms driving the long-term patterns documented for Oneida Lake can frequently be approached in experiments conducted in relatively small-scale facilities, where controls and suitable replicates can be employed. Historically, CBFS has had a strong field orientation and this award will provide the station with the capability to adequately test mechanisms hypothesized from field observations.

该奖项提供资金，帮助在奥奈达湖的康奈尔生物野外站（CBFS）建设一个多用户实验研究设施（杆仓）。该设施将配备低压通风、排水、接地故障电气服务、控制温度、自然光和人造光、自然光和温度、实验水箱（大小和体积不同）和步入式环境室。新的水箱将允许在生物地球化学、鱼类生物能量学、营养动力学和陆地-水相互作用方面进行一系列实验。CBFS研究项目包括对奥奈达湖的长期研究，重点关注大型湖泊湖沼学，以及对研究生和本科生进行实地研究的培训。了解驱动奥奈达湖记录的长期模式的机制，通常可以在相对小规模的设施中进行实验，在那里可以采用对照和适当的复制。从历史上看，CBFS具有很强的现场导向，该合同将为该站提供充分测试现场观测假设机制的能力。
