Graduate Study in Forest Ecology at Ohio University
We offer a well-rounded program in Forest Ecology at both the Masters and
PhD levels. Set in the forested hills of the Allegheny plateau, our faculty
pursue research in a wide range to topics including biological invasion,
urban ecology, re-establishment of American chestnut, landscape history,
carbon balance in trees, and the nitrogen and phosphorous dynamics of forest
soils. We are presently seeking graduate students to fill three positions
beginning in January 2015. All positions are fully funded including tuition
waivers. If you are interested, take a look at our websites:
