Lehigh University seeks applications for an MS or PhD student in climate
change and terrestrial ecosystem dynamics starting in spring or fall
2009. Prospective student should be interested in studying how changes
in climate, atmospheric chemistry, and land use affect terrestrial
ecosystems. We will explore the effect of both historical changes and
future scenarios of climate, CO2 fertilization and plant physiology,
ozone pollution, and land use and management on ecosystem productivity
and the hydrological response. There is also the possibility to explore
paleoclimatic issues of interest. The approach will involve computer
modeling with climate and biogeochemical models.
Candidates should have a background in geologic or atmospheric sciences
and skills in quantitative modeling and computer programming. The
student will take a wide-range of courses in the Earth and Environmental
Sciences Department to provide the integrated knowledge necessary to
understand the Earth as a system.
Support includes tuition and an annual stipend.
