Our
research requires data acquisition and analysis with advanced
instrumentation. On-campus facilities include a DNA sequencing
facility, several complete environmental chemistry laboratories,
a marine aquatics laboratory, greenhouses, machine shops, and
the Virtual Center for
Spatial Analysis and Remote Sensing. The computing facilities
are linked with the laboratories of the individual CEA-CREST
research teams by the campus-wide system of fiber optics and
high-speed servers. This infrastructure supports studies in
remote sensing, Geographical Information Systems, chemical analysis
of pollutants, simulation modeling, molecular genetics, and
spatial statistics.
Field studies take place at diverse locations: the watersheds
of the Santa Monica Mountains, the streets of urban Los Angeles,
the rocky shores of the Pacific Northwest, the tundra of Alaska,
the coral reefs of the Caribbean, the California Channel Islands,
the deserts of the Southwest. |
