This award provides support for improvements in the electrical and communications infrastructure of the Flathead Lake Biological Station (FLBS). Established in 1899, the station located on the East Shore of Flathead Lake, within a remarkable area of the Rocky Mountains known as the Crown of the Continent. Station personnel and visiting staff conduct research, training and education activities, including various summer courses that take advantage of the station's location. The station has 4 long-term core projects: 1) floodplain ecology and river restoration, 2) biodiversity and bioproduction along biophysical gradients, 3) large lake limnology, and 4) environmental change assessment and ecosystem modeling. The station maintains large, long-term limnological databases and increasingly relies on high volume, remotely-sensed imagery for spatial analysis of ecosystem processes. Improvements supported through this award include: 1) underground placement of utility lines, 2) emergency backup power and refrigeration; 3) equipment and software for data management, network security and archival needs. The proposed improvements are central to securing past investment, will facilitate growth of collaborative research, and are essential for secure management, distribution, and archiving of the massive electronic databases rapidly growing and accumulating at FLBS.

该奖项为改善平头湖生物站(FLBS)的电力和通信基础设施提供支持。该站成立于1899年，位于平头湖东岸，位于落基山脉一个被称为大陆之冠的非凡区域内。空间站工作人员和来访工作人员开展研究、培训和教育活动，包括利用空间站地理位置的各种暑期课程。该站有4个长期核心项目：1)泛滥平原生态和河流恢复，2)生物物理梯度上的生物多样性和生物生产，3)大型湖泊湖沼学，4)环境变化评估和生态系统建模。空间站维护着大型、长期的湖沼学数据库，并越来越依赖于高容量的遥感图像来进行生态系统过程的空间分析。通过该合同支持的改进措施包括：1)将公用事业线路放置在地下；2)紧急备用电力和制冷；3)用于数据管理、网络安全和档案需求的设备和软件。拟议的改进是确保过去投资的核心，将促进合作研究的增长，对于安全管理、分发和存档在外研社迅速增长和积累的海量电子数据库至关重要。
