This award partially supports the development of a fully instrumented watershed at Huntington Forest, NY. The forest has been a focal point for ecological field investigations in the Adirondack Mountains of New York State for more than two decades. The project involves the acquisition of a coordinated suite of instruments and development of a network optimized for realtime data acquisition at the Arbutus experimental watershed. Realtime measurements will be combined with wireless technology to enhance this outdoor facility for both research and teaching. Teaching will include not only graduate and undergraduate students, but also the training of high school teachers and their students. The development of field curricula is a focal area of environmental investigations at the SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry and collaborating institutions. The Arbutus Watershed is the only fully operational site in the Adirondacks that is evaluating concomitantly temporal changes in climate, hydrology, biogeochemistry, terrestrial biota and aquatic biota. A major focus of research at this site by scientists and students has been the development of field instrumentation for ecological research. This new suite of instrumentation will focus on continuous measurements of meteorological, hydrological and biochemical parameters at key locations within the catchment and also provide a communication network for wide range of projects including watershed hydrology, elemental mass balances, mercury dynamics and animal telemetry. These measurements will also be used in regional ecological analyses. New field instrumentation will include a wireless communications system that will transmit and/or receive data from individual sites within the Arbutus Lake watershed, plus expand environmental monitoring and data collection, allowing for more extensive ecological and environmental investigations. This expanded data monitoring system will allow for more intensive investigations of physical, chemical and biological parameters in response to environmental change.

该奖项部分支持纽约州亨廷顿森林的全仪表流域的开发。 二十多年来，这片森林一直是纽约州阿迪朗达克山脉生态实地调查的焦点。该项目涉及购置一套协调的仪器，并开发一个优化的网络，用于在杨梅实验流域进行实时数据采集。 实时测量将与无线技术相结合，以加强这一户外设施的研究和教学。教学不仅包括研究生和本科生，还包括高中教师和学生的培训。实地课程的开发是纽约州立大学环境科学与林业学院和合作机构环境调查的重点领域。Arbutus流域是阿迪朗达克山脉唯一一个全面运作的地点，正在评估气候、水文、地球化学、陆地生物区系和水生生物区系的同时时间变化。科学家和学生在该地点的一个主要研究重点是开发用于生态研究的现场仪器。这套新的仪器将侧重于在流域内的关键地点连续测量气象、水文和生物化学参数，并为广泛的项目提供通信网络，包括流域水文、元素质量平衡、汞动力学和动物遥测。这些测量结果也将用于区域生态分析。新的现场仪器将包括一个无线通信系统，该系统将发送和/或接收来自杨梅湖流域内各个地点的数据，并扩大环境监测和数据收集，从而能够进行更广泛的生态和环境调查。这一扩大的数据监测系统将使人们能够针对环境变化对物理、化学和生物参数进行更深入的调查。
