The Rubenstein Ecosystem Science Laboratory is a lakefront extension of the Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources at the University of Vermont (UVM). The laboratory is also used by Saint Michael's College in a partnership with UVM. It houses state-of-the-art research facilities, including laboratories for the study of contaminants, water and sediment quality, and aquatic biota including fish, invertebrates and algae. The laboratory provides researchers with the tools necessary to investigate and understand the ecosystem processes that determine ecological health and influence the quality of life for the human community in the Basin. The UVM research vessel Melosira is docked adjacent to the facility, providing access for research and teaching on Lake Champlain. The facility also provides a teaching laboratory for use by UVM, Saint Michael's College, and ECHO .
