The Sevilleta Field Station: Laboratory Equipment for Ecological Research

新墨西哥大学在新墨西哥州中部的塞维莱塔野战站运营，地点毗邻塞维莱塔国家野生动物保护区、博斯克-德尔阿帕奇国家野生动物保护区、塞拉利昂拉德隆荒野研究区和奇博拉国家森林的马格达莱纳山脉研究区。这些地区的栖息地从沙漠到山地森林，在塞维莱塔野外站有数十个活跃的研究项目。其中包括许多由NSF资助的项目，包括一个长期生态研究网站和一个本科生研究体验网站。空间站主任Clifford Crawford博士建议在空间站的微型计算机和主校园的计算设施之间安装一条微波链路。他还计划安装一个带有无线电链路的远程气象站，用于数据传输，并购买许多必要的实验室和野外研究设备。对塞维莱塔实地站的拟议增建将大大增加该站主持各种研究项目的能力。该站在偏远但独特的环境中提供研究支持，并证明了其促进杰出研究的能力。

The University of New Mexico operates the Sevilleta Field Station in central New Mexico at a site adjacent to the Sevilleta National Wildlife Refuge, the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge, the Sierra Ladrones Wilderness Study Area, and the Magdalena Mountains Research Area in the Cibola National Forest. Habitats in these areas range from desert to montane forests, and there are dozens of active research projects based at the Sevilleta Field Station. Among these are many NSF-supported projects, including a Long-Term Ecological Research Site and a Research Experience for Undergraduates Site. Dr. Clifford Crawford, Director of the Station, proposes to install a microwave link between the microcomputers at the Station and the computing facilities at the main campus. He also plans to install a remote weather station with a radio link for data transmission, and to acquire many essential pieces of laboratory and field research equipment. The proposed additions to the Sevilleta FIeld Station will add significantly to the Station's capacity to host diverse research projects. This Station offers research support in a remote but unique setting, and has demonstrated its ability to facilitate outstanding research.
