The Quantitative Studies Laboratory (QSL) is a university-based, computer resource facility designed to exploit the technological advances made in the computing industry as applied to natural resource problems. We are a part of the Environmental and Forest Biology department at the State University of New York, College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Areas into which we regularly delve include: population dynamics and estimation, modelling and simulation, Geographical Information Systems (GIS) and the analysis of spatial data, applied natural resource management, and habitat suitability modeling.
