Are you working with vegetation models, specifically modeling semi-arid and arid ecosystems? Are you interested in collaborating on coupling a vegetation model with a population model representing ungulate grazers (horses)? Are you interested in feedbacks between vegetation and consumers in arid ecosystems and how these will be impacted by predicted changes in climate?
If your answer to the above is yes, please send an e-mail of interest to [email protected] I am looking for, preferably, a senior grad student or a postdoc who is proficient in modeling vegetation, i.e. uses vegetation models for everyday research, and can allocate some time to collaborate remotely on this project. Direction of this collaboration could be more applied (e.g. determining how many mustangs an area can sustain in 30 yrs) or more general about consumer—resource dynamics under climate change. Unfortunately, I currently have no funds to support this collaboration, but I am open to possibilities to apply for different grants.
