<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_quote"><br>The Department of Geology at the University of Cincinnati is seeking outstanding applicants for a study of carbon cycling and methane emissions in Lake Erie. Lake Erie is seasonally hypoxic and also has extensive natural gas drilling and infrastructure, both
of which may be a source of methane to the lake and the atmosphere. The project requires a combination of field and laboratory work, including stable isotope analysis of methane in the isotope biogeochemistry lab at the University of Cincinnati. This project,
funded by NOAA's Ohio Sea Grant program, will consist of several field campaigns per year aboard the Canadian Coast Guard Vessel
<i>Limnos</i> and will require federal and state criminal background checks.<br><div style="word-wrap:break-word"><div><br>

<div>The Department of Geology has a flexible graduate curriculum and offers a diverse portfolio of research and teaching opportunities for graduate students. The application deadline for admission in September 2014 is January 15, 2014. </div>
