This award provides funds to establish a Cooperative facilities Center for Research on the Ecology of Spatial Heterogeneity at the University of Minnesota. The facility will intergrate the tolls of geographic information systems, image analysis, simulation models, and ecosystem analysis for research on the spatial dynamics of ecosystems in relation to global climate change, herbivores, cumulative impacts of disturbances, and Quaternary and bedrock geology. The participants are a mulitidisciplinary group of researchers from three campuses with expertise in wetland, riverine and forest ecosystems, Quaternary and exploration geology, palynology, ecological modeling, air photo interpretation and remote sensing, zoology, and forest economics. The facility will strengthen collaboration among the researchers and provide a tool to address common problems. The investigators are conducting meritorious research, have an adequate publication record, and have extramural support.

该奖项为明尼苏达大学的空间异质性生态学研究提供了合作设施研究中心。 该设施将使地理信息系统，图像分析，模拟模型和生态系统分析的通行费有关生态系统的空间动力学与全球气候变化，食草动物，骚乱的累积影响以及Quaternary and Quaternary和sedrock地球的研究。 参与者是来自湿地，河流和森林生态系统，第四纪和探索地质学，孢粉学，生态建模，空气照片解释和遥感，动物学和森林经济学的三个校园的研究人员。 该设施将加强研究人员之间的协作，并提供解决共同问题的工具。 调查人员正在进行优点研究，具有足够的出版记录，并获得了壁外支持。
