A grant has been awarded to Dr. Robert R. Parmenter and Dr. James R. Gosz at the University of New Mexico for a renovation project at the Sevilleta Research Field Station, located on the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge in central New Mexico. The Sevilleta Research Field Station provides field support to a large number of scientists and students studying the ecology, geology, anthropology, and climatology of the Middle Rio Grande Valley. The research and training use of the field station has increased dramatically in the 1990's, and demand for laboratory space at the field station has outstripped available facilities; in addition, new long-term initiatives for collecting and storing dried/preserved samples of soils, plant materials, and arthropods, will require expanded laboratory and long-term storage space. With this NSF grant, and with cost share from the University of New Mexico, the UNM scientists will implement a three-part plan in which they will build a new sample storage building and renovate the station's current shop/storage building into laboratory space. The plan includes: (1) moving the station's shop operations into a new, shared shop facility being constructed by FWS, thereby enhancing shop capabilities and creating new lab space, (2) constructing a new storage building for existing field equipment and long-term storage of field samples, and (3) renovating the old shop/storage building into a sample processing laboratory, complete with laboratory benches, casework and increased drying-oven capacities for processing soil and vegetation samples. These improvements will result in a net gain of 1,500 square feet of laboratory space, and nearly double the station's available storage and shop space. The net result will be more usable work space for visiting researchers and students, and a more efficient use of combined building space with FWS. The improved facilities will allow increases in both the quantity and efficiency of research activities in the Middle Rio Grande Valley conducted at the Sevilleta Research Field Station, and therefore will contribute to a large spectrum of databases on the ecology of this region in the American Southwest.

罗伯特·R博士获得了一笔赠款。帕门特和詹姆斯·R·博士。戈兹在新墨西哥州大学为塞维利亚研究野外站的一个翻新项目工作，该研究站位于新墨西哥州中部的美国鱼类和野生动物管理局塞维利亚国家野生动物保护区。 塞维利亚研究野外站为大量研究中格兰德河谷生态学、地质学、人类学和气候学的科学家和学生提供野外支持。 20世纪90年代，野外站的研究和培训用途急剧增加，野外站对实验室空间的需求超过了现有设施;此外，收集和储存土壤、植物材料和节肢动物干燥/保存样品的新的长期计划将需要扩大实验室和长期储存空间。 有了NSF的这笔赠款，以及新墨西哥州大学的成本分摊，UNM的科学家们将实施一个由三部分组成的计划，其中他们将建造一个新的样品储存大楼，并将空间站目前的商店/储存大楼改造成实验室空间。 该计划包括：（1）将工作站的车间操作转移到FWS正在建造的新的共享车间设施中，从而提高车间能力并创建新的实验室空间，（2）为现有的现场设备和现场样品的长期储存建造新的储存大楼，以及（3）将旧车间/储存大楼翻新为样品处理实验室，配备实验室工作台，此外，还增加了用于处理土壤和植被样本的干燥箱容量。 这些改进将导致净增加1,500平方英尺的实验室空间，几乎是空间站可用存储和商店空间的两倍。 最终的结果将是访问研究人员和学生有更多可用的工作空间，并更有效地利用与FWS相结合的建筑空间。 改进后的设施将提高在塞维利亚研究野外站进行的中格兰德河流域研究活动的数量和效率，因此将有助于建立关于美国西南部这一地区生态的大量数据库。
