Greetings Ecolog Listserve! My partner and I are on a year-long travel sabbatical, and we are hoping to volunteer at and/or visit ecological field research sites around the globe.
I recently completed my PhD in environmental science and would love to put it to good use while we travel. My thesis involved a combination of field work (biologic and hydrologic monitoring), spatial analysis of LIDAR data, and geomorphic modeling, in order to explore the origins of vernal pool wetlands in California. I'm handy with GPS / GIS, soil field techniques, in situ ecosystem monitoring, and plant and animal surveys. My partner is a computer scientist, specializing in machine learning. Our rough schedule (although we're flexible to location and timing): Africa in January - February India in March SE Asia in April - May China in May-June If you know any research projects in these regions looking for short-term volunteers or willing to give a tour to visiting scientists, please let me know. Thanks for your time! Sarah Reed <s_r...@berkeley.edu>
