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 The building's layout and fixtures are outdated and limit the research of the station, and the structure is energy inefficient and in need of safety upgrades.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.

加州大学圣巴巴拉分校的内华达山脉水产研究实验室获得了一笔赠款，用于翻新和现代化现有的279平方米。(3000平方英尺)英国《金融时报》)建于1962年的实验室大楼。建筑的布局和夹具陈旧，限制了空间站的研究，结构节能，需要安全升级。Snarl现代化实验室设施的开发将带来大量新的工作台空间，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。在斯纳尔的河道中，将有足够的空间用于实验研究的实验室部件。利用该地区丰富的水生和陆地栖息地多样性并为分析提供实验室空间的强化野外课程将是有价值的课程补充。SNARL位于加利福尼亚州猛犸湖附近，沿着内华达山脉的东部悬崖。该空间站成立于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。它是内华达山脉、加利福尼亚州东部和内华达州西部大部分地区进行研究的试验场和行动基地。来自美国各地的研究人员是这些设施的常客，研究范围广泛，涉及生命科学和物理学。根据常用的指标(用户天数、同行评审期刊上的出版物)，该站的使用率很高，而且非常有成效。欲了解有关SRNAL的更多信息，请访问http://vesr.ucnrs.org/.。
