The Biological Field Station is a facility of the State University College at Oneonta. The Main Laboratory is located on Otsego Lake just north of the Farmer's Museum in Cooperstown, NY. It is uniquely situated to provide excellent opportunities for field studies by advanced undergraduate and graduate students. The lab serves as a focus for analytical procedures essential for research activities in both aquatic and terrestrial habitats. It houses collections of local flora and fauna acquired during research activities. There is a large aquarium room, a unique multipurpose laboratory, three analytical laboratories and a library creating a compact and versatile research complex. There are over 10 boats ranging from 14-foot aluminum "john boats" to the specially fitted 45-foot research vessel, Anodontoides. Photo galleries of BFS facilities are currently being constructed; click for a look inside the newly-renovated main laboratory or for a gallery of facilities and resources owned by the Field Station. The Lake and more than 2,500 acres of woodlands, bogs, marshes and ponds provide resources for research experiences in field biology to students in our academic programs. Public concern over the protection and future of Otsego Lake has resulted in support for faculty research endeavors by the Clark Foundation, Mrs. Willis D. Hadley, the Gronewaldt Foundation, other local sources and the State University and its Research Foundation. The State of Otsego Lake, 1936-1996 provides information characterizing Otsego Lake and its watershed. It is the result of 27 years of cumulative research. This publication is now available on this website: The State of Otsego Lake, 1936-1996. Also available are the Field Station's Yearly Publications and Reports. |
