Facilities
Chemical Analysis Laboratory
The Chemical Analysis Laboratory is equipped with state-of-the art instrumentation enabling high-quality instruction in environmental analytical chemistry at both the baccalaureate and graduate levels. The CAL also provides a number of analytical and environmental services to individuals, corporations, and other institutions in west Kentucky, the greater Ohio Valley region and beyond in fulfillment of the CRR regional economic service role.
Hancock Biological Station
The Hancock Biological Station, a year-round facility located on the shores of Kentucky Lake approximately 15 miles from Murray State's main campus, provides both field and laboratory support for CRR activities. Facilities exist for examining the nutrient, ion, and organic content of water along with full capabilities for biological sampling-including isotopic analysis of primary and secondary productivity. Facilities are available for the teaching/research component of CRR activity and for use by visiting scientists.
Mid-America Remote sensing Center
The Mid-America Remote sensing Center is equipped to analyze Landsat TM data and function as the "clearing house" for all CRR data for Kentucky Lake. Monitoring and satellite data are archived within the geographic information system for Kentucky Lake (KLGIS) via state-of the-art computational facilities. Large storage capacity and rapid processing supports the development of water quality models and other projects related to reservoirs and their basins.
