Budget cuts threaten Savannah River Ecology Lab
Federal budget cuts threaten the Savannah River Ecology Laboratory and a related molecular genomics program mapping the deer mouse genome. The 2 1/2 acre wetland long-term study faces shutdown as the lab loses its 7.8 million dollar DOE funding, though university grants and other sources may partly offset the budget gap. The lab, opened in 1951, provides independent environmental research on the Savannah River Site and its closure would deprive public access to unbiased ecosystem health data.
