The
Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory (also known by its acronym
RMBL — pronounced 'rumble') is a high-altitude biological field station located near
Crested Butte, in the abandoned mining town of Gothic,
Colorado in the
West Elk Mountains. The laboratory was founded in 1928. Research areas include the
ecology of the region,
climate change, pollination biology, and a long-running study of the
yellow-bellied marmot. The laboratory offers courses for undergraduate students, including
National Science Foundation-funded
REU students, and provides support for researchers from universities and colleges.
