Location

The Earth and Planetary Remote Sensing Laboratory is located on the Washington University main campus at Lindell and Skinker Boulevards, St. Louis, Missouri, shown as "WU" near the center of this map of the St. Louis area. The Laboratory is in rooms 277-287 of the Earth and Planetary Sciences Building, just north of Brookings (the University administration building).  The Earth and Planetary Sciences department web page has more information on how to get here.

The MetroLink public transportation system runs from the airport to downtown (shown as red squares on a turquoise line on the St. Louis area map, or see the MetroLink System Map). The Forest Park and Central West End stations are near the University medical school campus. The University operates a free shuttle service that runs between the medical school and the main campus every 20 minutes. You can board the shuttle near either MetroLink station.

If you rent a car, you will need a parking permit. Please contact Margo Mueller (314-935-5679,  mueller@wunder.wustl.edu). She will send you a permit that enables you to park in the yellow parking lots on campus.
