*Graduate Research Assistantship: Biogeochemical and Hydrological 
Cycling in Terrestrial Ecosystems.*  Lehigh University seeks 
applications for an MS or PhD student in climate change and terrestrial 
ecosystem dynamics starting in Spring or Fall 2009.  Student should be 
interested in studying how changes in climate, atmospheric chemistry, 
and land use affect terrestrial ecosystems.  We will explore the effect 
of both historical changes and future scenarios of climate, CO_2 
fertilization and plant physiology, ozone pollution, and land use and 
management on ecosystem productivity and the hydrological response.  
There is also the possibility to explore paleoclimatic issues of 
interest.   The approach will involve computer modeling with climate and 
biogeochemical models.  Candidate should have background in geologic or 
atmospheric sciences and skills in quantitative modeling and computer 
programming.  Student will take a wide-range of courses in the Earth and 
Environmental Sciences Department to provide the integrated knowledge 
necessary to understand the Earth as a system.  Support includes tuition 
and an annual stipend.  For more information, please contact Dr.
