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 The building's layout and fixtures are outdated and limit the research of the station, and the structure is energy inefficient and in need of safety upgrades.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

加利福尼亚大学圣塔芭芭拉分校的内华达州内华达山脉水上研究实验室被授予翻新和现代化现有279平方米的赠款。 （3000平方英尺）建造于1962年的实验室建筑。建筑物的布局和固定装置已过时，并限制了车站的研究，并且该结构效率低下，需要安全升级。在SNARL开发现代化的实验室设施将导致大量新的基准空间，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的河流通道中实验研究的实验室成分的足够空间将可用。使用该地区的水生和陆地栖息地多样性并提供实验室空间的强化野外类别将是有价值的课程补充。该电台成立于1935年，自1973年以来一直是加利福尼亚大学自然储备系统的一个单位。它是一个实验地点，也是内华达州塞拉山脉，加利福尼亚东部和内华达州西部大部分地区的研究基础。来自美国各地的研究人员是设施的常规用户，研究人员在生活和身体科学之间的范围很广。通过常用的指标（用户周期，同行评审期刊中的出版物），该站非常使用并且非常有生产力。有关SNARL的其他信息可以在http://vesr.ucnrs.org/上找到。
