One of our research groups, the Bristlecone Pine Demography
Project from UCSC, has fixed up the lab space at Crooked Creek and made
it functional. The north lab has tables, counter space and cabinets. 7-31-09 |
The north lab also has a walk-in closet (to the right
behind the geen cabinets). Currently, the laboratory space at Crooked
Creek lacks functional plumbing (i.e. is dry lab space only).7-31-09 |
