<div dir="ltr"><p style="margin:0in 0in 15pt;text-align:justify"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:rgb(51,51,51)">I am seeking a highly motivated MS student to join the forest
hydrology and biogeochemistry group in the College of Forest Resources at
Mississippi State University (Starkville, MS). The student will conduct
research in the discipline of forest hydrology with specific attention to the
interface between the atmospheric environment and the forest canopy in natural
and disturbed stands. The research group seeks to answer questions regarding
the current state of water and nutrients in southeastern forests, how this
status is affected by climatological variability, and how anthropogenic and
natural disturbances affect forest health across spatial and temporal scales. The
student will participate in research activities at the nearby John W. Starr
Memorial Forest and be trained to work in the Forest Hydrology and Soils Lab on
campus. The prospective student should possess enthusiasm for field work, strong
analytical and communication skills, and attention to detail. </span></p>
