Potential research projects include (but are not limited to): 1. Afforestation in southern Ontario: climate change effects, mitigation and ecosystem services. 2. Managing ecosystem services from private lands as shared resources: investigating the applicability of common pool resource theory. 3. Effects of organizational communication and social networks on the spread of private land conservation practices. We provide funding for 4 years for students in a PhD program. Please send inquiries to Dr. Michael Drescher (mdres...@uwaterloo.ca) providing unofficial transcripts, a summary of research interests and experience, cv, and contact information for two references. Please contact me by January 31, 2015, when I will start screening applicants.
