Two miles north of the Morningside campus is the 20 acre Columbia University Medical Center in Manhattan's Washington Heights, overlooking the Hudson River. In addition to its New York City campuses, Columbia has two facilities in New York State. Nevis Laboratories, established in 1947, is Columbia's primary center for the study of high-energy experimental particle and nuclear physics. Located in Irvington, Nevis is situated on a 60-acre estate originally owned by the son of Alexander Hamilton. The Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory was established in 1949 in Palisades, and is a leading research institution focusing on global climate change, earthquakes, volcanoes, nonrenewable resources, and environmental hazards. | ||
