New Weather Station
A new automated weather station has been installed at KUFS as part of both national and state climatological networks. The data serve broad needs, in addition to supporting the many researchers at KUFS. Read more about the history, capabilities, and importance of this station here or in the Kansas Water Office newsletter, HydroGram.

New Tallgrass Prairie Site
KUFS is partnering with The Nature Conservancy in preserving a large parcel of native tallgrass prairie in southern Anderson County, KS. This area provides new opportunities for research and teaching on prairie ecosystems. Details on this new conservation venture will be available soon.

Small Grants Program
Since 2003, the University of Kansas Field Station has made available a number of small grants ($300-$500) each year to help support undergraduate and graduate student research at the field station during the summer.  We encourage a diversity of research projects--not only ecological studies but projects in history, engineering, geology, geography, and other areas may be funded.  Availability of funds for 2010 is contingent on budgetary constraints; more information will be available in February 2010.
