Student will use computer models, including both stand-alone biogeochemical models or global climate models that link all components of the earth system. Models are compared against networks of field data, such as flux towers, satellite remote sensing, or streamflow gauges. We also have state-of-the-art field equipment to measure photosynthesis and soil respiration for local biomes. Application deadline is January 1.

Ph.D. position in Earth and Environmental Sciences at Lehigh
University, Bethlehem, PA starting August 2012. Possible topics for
dissertation research include a) Land-atmosphere interactions and
feedbacks on climate, b) Effects of climate change, atmospheric CO2,
air pollution, land use change on vegetation and the terrestrial
carbon sink, c) Climate impacts of future scenarios for the U.S. or
northeast region, d) Effects of land use change and vegetation
disturbance in climate models, and e) Biogeochemical cycling in
Quaternary paleoclimates.
