Student Opportunity

Description: PhD opportunity to conduct research exploring tree-mediated methane emission in freshwater wetlands in Australia. Wetlands are among earth's most efficient ecosystems for carbon sequestration, yet this capacity can be offset by emission of methane. Recent research indicates that wetland trees can be a significant, yet largely unquantified, pathway for methane emissions.

Ph.D. opportunity in a coupled study of the water, carbon and nitrogen cycle in a small hydro- snow covered mountain watershed. 

Proposal Deadline: April 19, 2019

“Biosphere 2 Earth Systems Research for Environmental Solutions” (biosphere2.org/education/research-experiences-for-undergraduates) is a 10-week summer Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program. Students participate in a variety of activities that will help them pursue a career in environmental sciences. They conduct their own research with a faculty mentor, interact with other participants and scientists, and present research findings in a formal poster symposium setting.

The deadline for applications to the UF Water Institute Graduate Fellows program has been extended through January 31, 2019, in part because of the recent addition of one additional fellowship in Science Communication by the UF College of Journalism and Communication.  More information can be found at https://waterinstitute.ufl.edu/education/wigf/2019-cohort/ or by contacting Jon Martin:
