Global Environmental Change Research Group

Students supported by the GECRG

Graduate and postdoctoral training is a key objective for the Research Group, particularly interdisciplinary approaches that leverage research resources in different department laboratories. We've provided assistantships and research support to a large number of talented students to help initiate new research and further our continuing projects:

  • Chad Lane, Geography
    Studying the paleoclimatic significance of stable carbon isotopes in lake sediments from Costa Rica
  • Catherine Lalande, Ecology and Evolutionary Biology
    Using isotopic tracers to study particle transport in high latitude marine systems

  • Dana Miller, Geology
    Using the oxygen isotope composition of alpha-cellulose in southern pine to establish an historical record of hurricane impacts

  • Whitney Nelson, Geology
    Using stable isotopes to establish historical records of monsoonal moisture in the southwestern USA

  • Philip Young, Geography
    Studying particle size distributions relevant to climatic variation in the Dominican Republic and Costa Rica
     
  • Jake Cseke, Geography
    Tree-ring dating of small-scale canopy disturbance events, Great Smoky Mountains National Park
     
  • Daniel Lewis, Geography
    Fire history and tree-ring studies in El Malpais National Monument, New Mexico and in the Bahamas
     
  • Lisa Boulton, Geography
    Erosion analyses in west Tennessee agricultural soils
