This NASA-funded project seeks to further our understanding of sea ice-ocean biology/biogeochemistry interactions in the Chukchi and Beaufort seas, with a particular focus on how enhanced light transmittance through a melting sea ice cover will impact ocean primary productivity and photodegradation of dissolved organic matter. Candidates should have strong interests in satellite remote sensing, quantitative analysis, laboratory work, and remote fieldwork. The successful candidate will join the Polar Science Research Laboratory at Clark (<a href="http://wordpress.clarku.edu/kfrey/" target="_blank"><u>http://wordpress.clarku.edu/kfrey/</u></a>) and will have the opportunity to work collaboratively with colleagues from <a href="http://www.whoi.edu/" target="_blank">CRREL</a>, <a href="http://www.washington.edu/" target="_blank">University of Washington</a>, and <a href="http://www.milton.edu/" target="_blank">NASA</a> Goddard. For further information, please contact Prof. Karen Frey (<a href="mailto:kfrey@clarku.edu" target="_blank"><u>kfrey@clarku.edu</u></a>) and see application details at <a href="http://www.clarku.edu/departments/geography/graduate/apply.cfm" target="_blank"><u>http://</u></a><a href="http://www.clarku.edu/departments/geography/graduate/apply.cfm" target="_blank"><u>www.clarku.edu/departments/geography/graduate/apply.cfm</u></a> (deadline December 31, 2013).
