Sierra Nevada Aquatic Research Laboratory

21 Sep, 11 AM - 23 Sep, 07 AM

Much of the field visit and data gathering is conducted off site (see below). We do use the SNARL site as a home base for our field excursions and as a location for learning how to identify native plants. We conduct a field sample of native plants in the area just outside of SNARL (just across from the main gate) as part of a comparative study of desert plants. During our 2.5 day stay we visit Owen's Dry Lake, Mono Lake and hike to several glacial lakes to discuss the environmental changes resulting from anthropogenic as well as natural forces. We also visit a variety of locations in the area to gather sample data on tree and shrub distributions. Students are also required to gather information on a variety of topics concerning the geomorphology of the region.
