Read MoreUnderstanding vegetation feedback mechanisms under a changing environment is crucial for the prediction of carbon and water fluxes in models, where the predictions are later used for conservation and climate-related policies.
Read MoreResearch in mosquito control is whimsical and complex, spanning topics in community ecology, population genetics, pathology, epidemiology, and fundamental principles like mosquito behavior.
Read MoreThe stream will include field work to Great Salt Lake, extraction of microbe and invertebrate DNA, sequencing analysis, and mathematical modeling.
Read MoreIn this stream, we will wander into the wilds of the Wasatch Mountains and the green spaces of Salt Lake City, investigating questions to how humans affect the behavior and distribution of some of the most iconic wildlife in the country, leading to scientific breakthroughs that can directly influence conservation and adaptive management strategies.
