Center for Environmental Science (UMCES). We seek a highly motivated
student to join our research into the effect of land use on the
retention of atmospheric nitrate in the Chesapeake Bay watershed. The
position is based at the AL in Frostburg, Maryland, working with Drs.
David Nelson (stable isotope biogeochemistry), Keith Eshleman
(hydrology), and Cathlyn Stylinski (environmental/science education).
A M.S. student would matriculate through the Marine, Estuarine, and
Environmental Sciences Program (MEES) at the University of Maryland,
College Park or the Biology Department at Frostburg State University.
A Ph.D. student would matriculate through the MEES program.
Appropriate undergraduate training in biology, ecology, chemistry
and/or environmental science is required, and an interest in public
engagement in science is desired.
For more information, please contact David Nelson
