Biogeoscience Institute (BGS) is a University level Institute reporting to the Vice President Research of the University of Calgary. It consists of two facilities: The Barrier Lake Station (built in 1967 using NRC infrastructure grant) located in the Kananaskis River Valley 80 km west of Calgary, and the R.B. Miller Station (founded in 1950) in the Sheep River Wildlife Sanctuary 120 km southwest of Calgary. Both stations operate year round. BGS also operates two research watersheds. The mandate of BGS is to provide resources for interdisciplinary environmental research and training to universities, government, and the private sector. The BGS operates the only field stations and research watersheds in the Canadian Rockies. It attracts each year on average 57 independently funded researchers and, in addition, facilitates five interdisciplinary research clusters with 18 principal investigators. The Barrier Lake Station can accommodate about 110 users with access to high service laboratories, growth chambers, boats, computer facilities, walk-in cold rooms, dark room, GIS lab, GPS base station and rover units, library, and herbarium-zoology collections. There is a main lodge which includes a 26 person dormitory and kitchen/dining facility with full time cook, and a lab/library building with six labs and one lecture room. A second dormitory and kitchen/dining facility holds 30 persons. Besides these, there are five duplex units, two houses, one cabin, and three mobile homes available to users. The R.B. Miller Station consists of a cabin, cookhouse, bunkhouse, laboratory, wash house and one trailer. The facilities can accommodate 20 users and provides electric power and water. BGS averages 16,000 user days per year and was used by 35 universities over the last six years. There are 16 projects that have lasted over 15 years, 14 projects that have lasted 5-10 years, and 56 projects that have lasted 2-3 years. External use is always greater than that by the University of Calgary. Over the last six years, 56 theses, 319 refereed scientific papers, and three books have resulted from research at BGS and 14,600 students have taken University courses.

Biogeoscience Institute (BGS) is a University level Institute reporting to the Vice President Research of the University of Calgary. 它由两个设施组成：位于卡尔加里以西 80 公里的卡纳纳斯基斯河谷的 Barrier Lake 站（建于 1967 年，利用 NRC 基础设施拨款）和位于卡尔加里西南 120 公里的羊河野生动物保护区的 R.B. Miller 站（建于 1950 年）。两个车站均全年运营。 BGS 还运营着两个研究分水岭。 BGS 的使命是为大学、政府和私营部门提供跨学科环境研究和培训资源。 The BGS operates the only field stations and research watersheds in the Canadian Rockies.它每年平均吸引 57 名独立资助的研究人员，此外还促进拥有 18 名主要研究人员的 5 个跨学科研究集群。 Barrier Lake Station 可容纳约 110 名用户，可使用高服务实验室、生长室、船只、计算机设施、步入式冷室、暗室、GIS 实验室、GPS 基站和流动站、图书馆和植物标本馆-动物收藏。 有一个主小屋，其中包括一间 26 人宿舍和配有全职厨师的厨房/餐厅设施，以及一座设有六个实验室和一间报告室的实验室/图书馆大楼。 A second dormitory and kitchen/dining facility holds 30 persons. Besides these, there are five duplex units, two houses, one cabin, and three mobile homes available to users. The R.B. Miller Station consists of a cabin, cookhouse, bunkhouse, laboratory, wash house and one trailer. The facilities can accommodate 20 users and provides electric power and water.

There are 16 projects that have lasted over 15 years, 14 projects that have lasted 5-10 years, and 56 projects that have lasted 2-3 years. External use is always greater than that by the University of Calgary.在过去六年中，BGS 的研究成果包括 56 篇论文、319 篇参考科学论文和三本书，并且有 14,600 名学生参加了大学课程。
