Graduate Assistantships in Mussel Ecology (MS/PhD) at Texas A&M University Texas A&M University in United States

PhD position at the University of Connecticut in the Helton & Lawrence Lab Groups. The project focuses on freshwater ecosystem ecology and biogeochemistry, with an interdisciplinary emphasis on how beaver-created ecosystems in the Northeastern United States affect freshwater carbon cycling. The work includes field research to quantify greenhouse gas dynamics, ecosystem metabolism, and carbon stocks in ponds, wetlands, and streams, plus the opportunity to develop watershed-scale models of beaver-...
