We are seeking applicants for a Ph.D. research assistantship in the biogeochemistry of forested ecosystems. Research will focus on the fate and transport of weathering products across spatial gradients within watersheds. Project goals include characterizing dynamic solute fluxes that will help us understand how ecosystems respond to and recover from different global change drivers. The… Read more »
In recognition of the global nature and continuing success of Critical Zone (CZ) science, the U.S. NSF has provided funding to the CZ Observatory (CZO) Science Across Virtual Institutes (SAVI) project to enable travel to CZ sites or pre-eminent laboratories overseas to further the investigation of the CZ. This announcement is an open solicitation for… Read more »
The Critical Zone Observatories (CZOs) represent a wide range of environmental and landscape settings. To enable broad understanding of the evolution, function and sustainability of the Critical Zone, the CZOs have begun to articulate scientific questions that are common and have value across the entire CZO network. Those questions are: What controls CZ properties? And… Read more »
Ph.D. Graduate Research Assistantship in Stream Fish Ecology University of Alaska Fairbanks – Alaska Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit Responsibilities – Funds are expected to support a Ph.D. student to investigate the effects of fire in boreal watersheds through empirical studies focused on characterizing physical and biological mechanisms driving aquatic habitat dynamics and productivity. Specific… Read more »
The Priscu Research Group is seeking a motivated Ph.D. student to work on the aquatic systems in the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica as part of the McMurdo LTER project. This six-year interdisciplinary project extends 24 years of previous data collection on the permanently ice-covered lakes of the region and will focus on biogeochemical responses to… Read more »
The Sala Lab at Arizona State University is recruiting PhD students interested on precipitation controls of net primary production. Our current research projects focus on the relationships between aboveground to belowground components of net primary productivity along a precipitation gradient. We integrate field manipulative experiments with simulation modeling and analysis of long-term data. There are… Read more »
