An award has been made to Western Washington University under the direction of Dr. David U. Hooper for the acquisition of a system for analyzing carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus in terrestrial, freshwater, and marine ecosystems. The instruments will support research on nutrient analysis of plants, soils, sediments, and various water samples from streams, oceans, and drainage systems. The instrument system will be housed in the Integrated Laboratory Network, which allows for remote operation and real time visualization of data in research laboratories and classrooms across the campus. Such measurements are essential in studies of invasive plant species, restoration of vegetation near streams, carbon and nitrogen cycling in disturbed forest soils, and nutrient cycling in marine and wetland habitats. Western Washington University has a strong emphasis on undergraduate education, including programs in student research. The instrument system will be used by undergraduates and masters level students for projects, and in courses taught by faculty in biology and environmental sciences.

在戴维·U·胡珀（David U. Hooper）博士的指导下，已颁发了一项奖项，以获取用于在陆地，淡水和海洋生态系统中分析碳，氮和磷的系统。 这些仪器将支持对植物，土壤，沉积物以及来自溪流，海洋和排水系统的各种水样的养分分析研究。 仪器系统将安置在集成实验室网络中，该网络允许在整个校园内的研究实验室和教室中进行远程操作和实时可视化数据。 这种测量对于研究侵入性植物物种，溪流附近的植被的恢复，碳和氮循环在受干扰的森林土壤中以及海洋和湿地栖息地中的养分循环至关重要。 西华盛顿大学非常重视本科教育，包括学生研究课程。 该仪器系统将被大学生和硕士级学生用于项目，并在由生物学和环境科学教师教授的课程中使用。
