KBS offers
opportunities for research in a variety of natural and managed
environments. Visiting scientists and campus-based MSU faculty
are welcomed and encouraged to establish new research programs at KBS
and to contribute to the stimulating research environment.
|
Nearly
1,650 ha of forests, fields, ponds and lakes are contained within the
KBS boundaries. Additional state lands and
preserves are located nearby and provide an enormous diversity of
natural aquatic and terrestrial habitats. This breadth of
habitats, adjacent to modern laboratory, greenhouse, library, and
computing facilities creates an unparalleled environment for ecological
and evolutionary research.
|
KBS
also offers several unique opportunities for research on natural and managed
ecosystems, including long-term ecological studies in agricultural
ecology (LTER), and numerous well-studied aquatic and
terrestrial field sites.
The station provides a
wonderful sabbatical environment for individuals wishing to write,
conduct data analysis, or simply interact with a community of scientists
broadly encompassing the disciplines of evolution, population, community
and ecosystem ecology. |

|
This resident community of faculty, postdoctoral
associates, and graduate students maintains a year-round
research and
seminar program. |
