Good Afternoon, In summer 2025, the vegetation team at Hubbard Brook <https://hubbardbrook.org/about-the-study/> is seeking an REU to engage in a research project on fuel load estimates in the forest in preparation for a prescribed fire experiment and predicted increases in fire potential in these “asbestos” forests. Prescribed fire may be necessary both in preventing megafires and in promoting northern red oak regeneration. The REU will be fully integrated into the vegetation crew and be expected to contribute to long-term measures as well as work for their own project focused on fuel load estimates. The student will collaborate closely with mentors from Cornell University (Cleavitt) and UC Berkeley (Battles) and have the opportunity to present on their project. Interested students should contact Nat Cleavitt by email: n...@cornell.edu. In your application, please include: a letter explaining why a summer research project interests you and how it fits into your broader plans, your resume and email contact for two references (they do not need to submit letters).
I look forward to your application. -- Best, Dayna De La Cruz (She/They <https://medium.com/gender-inclusivit/why-i-put-pronouns-on-my-email-signature-and-linkedin-profile-and-you-should-too-d3dc942c8743> ) *Young Voices of Science (YVoS) &* *Community Relations Specialist * To unsubscribe from this list please go to https://community.esa.org/confirm/?u=RhPWqPxFwODKvbkiT32nkIqRrsiSgulp
