The Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory

A center of excellence in ecosystem science since 1969.

The Natural Resource Ecology Laboratory is an interdisciplinary ecology research and teaching unit at Colorado State University.  Our mission is to improve understanding of the complex interactions between humans, management activities, and ecosystems. Within the larger body of research at NREL, four concentrated research programs, an advanced analytical laboratory, and a specialized UV-B unit are the central focus of our ecological exploration.
