I have research assistantships available for students interested in fire ecology and/or drought and temperature effects on plant distributions. One of my lab's current goals is to produce a generalizable framework for predicting tree species susceptibility to drought, climate change, and fire in the unique montane forests and woodlands of the northern Sierra Madre Oriental (more detail at http://www.schwilk.org). There are opportunities for students interested in fire ecology, ecophysiology, or microclimate measurement and modeling. For more information, contact Dr. Dylan Schwilk, [email protected]. Specific application procedures and deadlines are available at http://schwilk.org/prospective-students/
