This Biological Facilities Center proposal requests funds to                    establish a joint Facility for Regional Ecosystem Analysis.                     Scientists at Colorado State University's Natural Resource                      Ecology Laboratory and College of Forestry and Natural Resources                and the University of Colorado's Institute for Arctic and Alpine                Research and Center for the Study of Earth from Space will                      participate in this joint facility for interdisciplinary                        research.  The facility will build on major existing equipment in               image processing and simulation modeling but will be expanded to                include new mesoscale remote sensing instrumentation, image                     enhancement and analysis systems, and geographic data analysis                  software, all integrated into a system that will allow scientists               at both institutions to share this powerful technology and                      cooperate in regional.scale research.  Remote sensing creates                   regional data bases, image processing and spatial data analysis                 transform and manipulate these data, ecosystems modeling provides               a predictive tool for extrapolation.  By combining these into a                 single facility, these techniques will enable a quantum leap in                 research capabilities.
