The University of California-Davis has been awarded a grant to enhance experimental facilities to study climate change at the Bodega Marine Lab. The Bodega Marine Lab is one of the worlds premier field facilities for marine research and education. For more than 45 years, the Bodega Marine Lab has served as a gateway for research and educational activities from San Francisco Bay to Point Arena. The Bodega Lab is poised to respond quickly to pressing societal problems plaguing the coastal zone. With recent national report cards on the state of ocean ecosystems calling for climate change research, a new tri-state agreement (California, Oregon and Washington) coordinating coastal conservation efforts, and new sources of national and state funding anticipated, Bodega Marine Lab proposes to construct new facilities that can easily generate and control complex multi-variable environments needed by researchers and students to study the effects of climate change. The climate change facility at Bodega Marine Lab provides an outstanding and unparalleled opportunity as an ocean observing network that provides long-term data on a complex suite of real-world coastal environmental variables needed for the creation of realistic scenarios in controlled environments. The award will provide funds for a facility that is designed for work with marine, estuarine, and freshwater species, including non-native and larval organisms. A modular arrangement of the facility allows flexibility needed for experimental replicates, and easily accommodates static, semi-controlled, closed, and flow-through experimental systems. The climate facility will provide co-located utilities needed to easily manipulate environmental variables typical of climate change that can be controlled and monitored on-site or remotely via a computer-interface. The highly interdisciplinary and collaborative user base and experiments enabled by the infrastructure will provide an in-depth understanding of the complex multi-level ecosystem responses to climate change and climate effects on larval biology, marine physiology, environmental toxicology, molecular genetics, marine ecology, fish and invertebrate behavior, marine botany, conservation biology, and invasive species biology. The project will attract new interdisciplinary collaborations, increase facility capacity to address climate change issues, enhance training of new scientists, and advance marine lab facility design and performance.

加州戴维斯大学（University of California-Davis）获得了一项赠款，以增强在Bodega Marine Lab研究气候变化的实验设施。 Bodega Marine Lab是海洋研究和教育的世界首屈一指的现场设施之一。 45年来，Bodega Marine Lab一直是旧金山湾到角竞技场的研究和教育活动的门户。 Bodega实验室有望迅速应对困扰沿海地区的紧迫社会问题。鉴于最近关于海洋生态系统的国家报告卡呼吁进行气候变化研究，一项新的三州协议（加利福尼亚州，俄勒冈州和华盛顿州）协调沿海保护工作，以及预期的国家和州资金的新来源，Bodega Marine Lab提议构建新的设施，以构建可以轻松地产生和控制复杂的多型多变量的研究人员和学生来效应的新设施。作为海洋观察网络，Bodega Marine Lab的气候变化设施提供了一个出色且无与伦比的机会，该网络可提供有关在受控环境中创建现实情况所需的复杂现实沿海环境变量套件的长期数据。该奖项将为与海洋，河口和淡水物种（包括非本地和幼虫生物）一起工作的设施提供资金。该设施的模块化布置允许实验重复的灵活性，并轻松适应静态，半控制，封闭和流通实验系统。气候设施将提供所需的共同实用程序，以轻松操纵气候变化的环境变量，可以通过计算机接口在现场或远程控制气候变化。基础架构实现的高度跨学科和协作用户基础以及实验将对复杂的多层次生态系统对气候变化以及气候对幼虫生理学，海洋生理学，环境毒理学，分子遗传学，海洋生物学，鱼类生物学，佛罗里达和佛经疗法的群体的影响进行深入了解。该项目将吸引新的跨学科合作，提高解决气候变化问题的设施能力，增强对新科学家的培训，并提高海洋实验室的设施设计和绩效。
