SYNERGISTIC ACTIVITIES

  • Director, Ecosystem Informatics Strategic Initiative, OSU ($1.5 million, 2005-2010). Under this initiative we are hiring four new faculty to support the Ecosystem Informatics graduate and undergraduate education mission.  Two were hired and began September 2005, two more will be hired in early 2006.
  • PI and director, Ecosystem Informatics IGERT, offering PhD fellowships for studies integrating natural science, mathematics and computer science. (www.geo.oregonstate.edu/igert)
  • Co-PI, H.J. Andrews Long-term Ecological Research program (NSF) (www.fsl.orst.edu/lter).  Collaborative research involving long-term climate, streamflow and stream chemistry records, linking statistical analysis, modeling, and experiments.
  • Collaborator on multiple-author project on Road ecology, led by Richard Forman, Harvard Univ., PI, Streamflow hydrology comparisons and synthesis at long-term ecological research sites -- links with climate, ecosystems, and stream ecology, NSF Long Term Studies. 1996-98.  $171,364.
  • co-PI, advisor, mentor to 10 MS, Ph.Ds., NSF Graduate Research Traineeship award, 1994-99; Development of curriculum and draft textbook, "Spatial statistics in earth science and ecology" for publication with Oxford University Press.  Class taught to ~15 graduates/yr for 10 years.
