Does the LSAMP program have any upcoming events?
Biodiversity Conservation in the Tropics – Summer Research Opportunities
Operation Wallacea is a network of academics from European and North American universities, who design and implement biodiversity and conservation management research programs. In 2012/13 the expeditions are operating in 11 countries: Indonesia, Honduras, Egypt, Cuba, South Africa, Mozambique, Madagascar, Peru, Guyana, Romania, and Mexico. Research is supported by students who join the program to strengthen their CV or resume, gain course credit, or collect data for a dissertation or thesis. Academics benefit from funding for high quality fieldwork enabling them to publish papers in peer reviewed journals. This model enables the collection of large temporal and spatial datasets used for assessing the effectiveness of conservation management interventions. Ian Hendy, an Operation Wallacea supported PhD student studying mangrove ecology in Indonesia, will be speaking at Fairleigh Dickinson University in the Wilson Auditorium to anyone interested in hearing more about Operation Wallacea and summer research opportunities in the tropics.
