Coweeta LTER

Renovation and expansion of the Coweeta Hydrologic Laboratory Analytical Lab building was completed in February 2002. The 5209 ft2 (484 m2) building was significantly upgraded with funding from the USDA Forest Service, University of Georgia, and the NSF Field Station and Marine Laboratories competition.

The facility now includes additional analytical space, a walk-in cold room and a walk-in drying oven, and safety improvements. The Analytical Lab generates 63,000 chemical determinations per year for both experimental and long-term monitoring research projects. Jim Deal manages the Analytical Lab with support from Carol Harper, Cindi Brown, and Wilba Curtis.
