Position Description: How fast is the permafrost carbon climate feedback happening and what can be done? Graduate student positions available to build the Arctic Carbon Warning Network, providing real-time carbon cycle updates to society. The research spans both field work and data synthesis, including a primary field location near Denali National Park, Alaska. The experimental research foci are (1) net ecosystem carbon exchange (eddy covariance) from a gradient of sites undergoing permafrost thaw, and (2) coupled radiocarbon measurements to detect loss of old carbon. Related projects apply these research tools to understand how land management can reduce permafrost carbon loss and store organic matter in soil. We are recruiting motivated PhD or MS students to join the Schuur lab in the Center for Ecosystem Science and Society at Northern Arizona University. Please contact Ted Schuur (ted.schuur @nau.edu) and provide CV and cover letter.
