Tyson Research Center, Research station in Eureka, Missouri
The Tyson Research Center spans 2,000 acres of protected land within the Henry Shaw Ozark Corridor, serving as an environmental field station for Washington University in St. Louis.
The facility transformed from a World War II powder plant into a research center in 1963, when Washington University acquired the property for environmental studies.
The center manages the Tyson Environmental Research Apprenticeship program, providing local high school students with hands-on field research experience since 2009.
Researchers access laboratory microcosms, field experiment facilities, and an observatory for dark sky observations, supporting various environmental and astronomical studies.
The center houses the Endangered Wolf Center and maintains a weather station that monitors acid rain as part of the National Atmospheric Deposition Program.
