Laboratory Modernization at the Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory

加州大学圣巴巴拉分校内华达山脉水生研究实验室获得了一笔赠款，用于对现有279平方英尺的实验室进行翻新和现代化改造。M.（3000平方米）建于1962年的实验室大楼。建筑布局和固定装置陈旧，限制了车站的研究，结构节能低效，需要进行安全升级。SNARL现代化实验室设施的发展将带来大量新的实验空间，并扩大研究和教学活动。采用现代分子和生物地球化学方法的研究项目将变得可行。在SNARL的河道内，将有足够的空间供实验研究的实验室组成部分使用。利用该地区丰富多样的水生和陆地栖息地并提供实验室空间进行分析的强化实地课程将是有价值的课程补充。SNARL位于加利福尼亚猛犸湖附近，沿着内华达山脉的东部悬崖。该站成立于1935年，自1973年以来一直是加州大学自然保护区系统的一个单位。它是一个试验场，也是内华达山脉、加州东部和内华达州西部大部分地区的研究行动基地。来自美国各地的研究人员经常使用这些设施，研究范围广泛，涉及生命科学和物理科学。根据常用的指标（用户日、同行评议期刊上的出版物），该站的使用频率很高，生产率很高。关于SNARL的更多信息可以在http://vesr.ucnrs.org/上找到。

The Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory of the University of California, Santa Barbara is awarded a grant to renovate and modernize an existing 279 sq. m. (3000 sq. ft.) laboratory building constructed in 1962. The building's layout and fixtures are outdated and limit the research of the station, and the structure is energy inefficient and in need of safety upgrades. Development of modernized laboratory facilities at SNARL will result in substantial new bench space and expanded research and instructional activities. Research projects that employ modern molecular and biogeochemical approaches will become feasible. Adequate space for laboratory components of experimental studies in the stream channels at SNARL will become available. Intensive field classes that utilize the rich diversity of aquatic and terrestrial habitats in the area and offer laboratory space for analyses will be valuable curricular additions.SNARL is located near Mammoth Lakes, California along the eastern escarpment of the Sierra Nevada. The station was established in 1935 and since 1973 has been a unit in the University of California's Natural Reserve System. It serves as an experimental site and as a base of operations for research across a large part of the Sierra Nevada, eastern California and western Nevada. Researchers from throughout the US are regular users of the facilities, and the studies range widely among the life and physical sciences. By commonly used metrics (user-days, publications in peer-reviewed journals) the station is intensively used and very productive.
