ANNOUNCING: Summer 2014 REU opportunity focused on Terrestrial-aquatic linkages in urban
impacted ecosystems at Kent State University and The Holden Arboretum invite applicants
for a 10-week summer research training program. Students enrolled in this program will
conduct mentored research into the importance of terrestrial-aquatic linkages in the
ecology of urban-impacted ecosystems.
This research will be designed to examine how human activities such as urbanization,
industry, farming, mining, and recreational activities affect the way terrestrial and
aquatic ecosystems interact. Projects might compare sites with and without urban impact to
examine: nutrient cycling in soils and streams, microbial community composition in forest
soils and stream sediments, plant-soil interactions, how shredders modify terrestrial leaf
litter input to stream ecosystems, the effects of terrestrial pollutants on aquatic
microbial community structure and function, how terrestrial and aquatic biogeochemical
cycles are affected by human activities such as acid precipitation and land-use change.
Along with learning about hypothesis generation, project design, and ethics in research,
students will receive additional training archiving data in a geospatial database and will
participate in weekly seminars.
Participants will be provided housing, and a $500/week stipend.
Students must have good standing at a community college, college or university and be a
United States citizen or permanent resident.
Members of underrepresented groups are strongly encouraged to apply.
Deadline for applications February 17, 2013.
