1) how do the structure and function of wetlands and streams respond to local land-use and global climate change?
2) can current and emerging management tools reverse or restore the functioning of wetlands and streams?
If you are interested in joining us as a graduate student please look through the website and then send Marcelo an email with your CV and research interests. We welcome students, postdocs, and visiting scholars regardless of race, religion, gender identification, sexual orientation, age, or disability status. We believe that the more diverse the lab is, the better we will be at advancing our understanding of our changing world.
