9413040 Wake, D. B. The Museum of Vertebrate Zoology, University of California at Berkeley, has operated the Hastings Natural History Reservation since 1937. Hastings is located in the Santa Lucia Mountains, a coastal mountain range in central California. Over 900 ha of the natural community mosaic is protected for research and teaching use. Hastings supports many ongoing research projects; in 1994 Hastings will provide housing and facilities for about 40 field studies. In 1989, funding from NSF provided a modern laboratory space. Recent private donations, support from NSF, from the Museum of Vertebrate Zoology and the Berkeley campus has allowed significant upgrading of Hastings' facilities. Housing for 34 researchers has been added or renovated since 1988. A new domestic water storage, treatment and distribution system has been installed. Over the past six years, use at Hastings has increased dramatically and reached maximum seasonal use level determined by facility capacity and an ongoing management plan. Funding from the UC-Natural Reserve System allowed purchase of hardware and software for a geographic information system (GIS) A GIS at Hastings will be of great value to our resident and visiting researchers, neighboring landowners, and the management staff. This project will provide for the acquisition of a global positioning system (GPS) to incorporate existing data on vertebrate populations and genetics into our GIS. Other administrative uses include location of the reserve boundaries, updated maps of reserve buildings and utilities and to conduct vegetation and habitat mapping. A modern GIS and GPS capability will continue to attract new researchers and will expand the research and training opportunities for current investigators.

9413040 Wake，D。B.加利福尼亚大学伯克利分校的脊椎动物动物学博物馆自1937年以来一直经营Hastings自然历史保留地。黑斯廷斯位于加利福尼亚州中部沿海山脉的圣卢西亚山脉。 自然界马赛克的900多公顷可用于研究和教学使用。 黑斯廷斯支持许多正在进行的研究项目； 1994年，黑斯廷斯（Hastings）将为大约40个现场研究提供住房和设施。 1989年，NSF的资金提供了现代实验室空间。 最近的私人捐款，NSF的支持，来自脊椎动物动物学博物馆和伯克利校园，已允许对黑斯廷斯设施进行大量升级。 自1988年以来，已经添加或翻新了34名研究人员的住房。已安装了一种新的国内储水，处理和分配系统。 在过去的六年中，黑斯廷斯的使用急剧增加，并达到了设施容量和持续的管理计划确定的最大季节性使用水平。 UC-Natural储备系统的资金允许购买用于地理信息系统（GIS）的硬件和软件的GIS在Hastings的GIS对我们的居民和访问的研究人员，邻近的土地所有者和管理人员都具有巨大的价值。 该项目将规定获取全球定位系统（GPS），以将有关脊椎动物种群和遗传学的现有数据纳入我们的GIS。 其他行政用途包括储备边界的位置，储备建筑物和公用事业的更新地图以及进行植被和栖息地映射。 现代的GIS和GPS能力将继续吸引新的研究人员，并将扩大当前研究人员的研究和培训机会。
