environmental and ecological change. This student position is part of
a multi-disciplinary, NSF-funded project examining the long-term
impacts of changing floodplain geomorphology on forest vegetation
dynamics. The research involves the use of pollen in sediment cores
to reconstruct historical landscapes and develop models of forest
ecological change. The successful candidate will pursue a degree in
environmental science or ecology from the University of Maryland
(http://www.mees.umd.edu), and will be jointly supervised by Dr. Phil
Townsend at the Appalachian Laboratory of the University of Maryland
Center for Environmental Science (http://www.al.umces.edu/) and Dr.
Debra Willard (U.S. Geological Survey, Reston, VA,
http://geology.er.usgs.gov/paleo/dwillard.shtml). Preferred
characteristics include: training in forest ecology or geosciences;
GPA > 3.3; Strong GRE scores. For more information, contact Dr. Phil
Townsend: telephone 301-689-7124; email: townsend@al.umces.edu, or
