The
Savannah River Ecology Laboratory (SREL) offers outstanding short- and long-term
educational and research opportunities in ecology and environmental sciences
for graduate and undergraduate students. Located on the 780-square kilometer
(310-square mile) Savannah River Site (SRS), a federal nuclear materials processing
facility near Aiken, SC, the laboratory offers more than fifty years of experience
in ecological research.
A
wide variety of natural habitat types on the SRS, along with the presence
of nuclear and industrial facilities, provide students a unique opportunity
to study natural and disturbed ecological systems. Combined with state-of-the-art
laboratory and field facilities and a diverse natural flora and fauna, the
Laboratory offers unparalleled opportunities for students to develop ecological
expertise.
The
SREL Education Program provides visiting students with stipends, travel expenses,
and supply budgets to conduct research while in residence at the laboratory.
All visiting researchers work under the supervision of one or more SREL faculty
members who provide guidance and experience in a specific area of study. All
support facilities of the laboratory, such as state-of-the-art analytical
instrumentation, a modern computer center, and a science library, are available
to research visitors.
