Graduate Student Opportunity at Lehigh University Peatland ecology/paleoecology
The Earth & Environmental Science Department at Lehigh University has an opening for a graduate student (MS or PhD) as part of a newly NSF- funded project aimed at better understanding processes of peatland initiation and expansion in south-central Alaska. The project will characterize modern and historical rates and processes associated with peatland lateral expansion, placing recent changes in the context of regional hydrology and long-term developmental history.
Full funding (tuition and stipend) is available through a research assistantship. Specific dissertation/thesis topic is flexible as long it fits within the context of the overall project. Preference will be given to candidates who can begin in Fall 2009 or Spring 2010. For more information, please contact Bob Booth ([email protected]) and Zicheng Yu ([email protected]).
