My team is recruiting a MSc student for a new grant investigating forested wetland responses to Hurricane Helene. The student will lead a GIS project mapping disturbance type and severity in the ETSU Geosciences dept. The catch: they would need to start this fall semester (about a month from now).
![On the left, a picture of a white wildflower (Trillium erectum) in early spring. A drop of water hangs from its lowest petal and blue skies can be seen in the background. On the right, the outline of eastern North America is overlaid with square grid cells shaded either red or blue, with 72 red cells (indicating regions where T. erectum was not found to be a spring ephemeral) and 7 blue cells (where it was found to have a spring ephemeral phenological strategy). Text on the image notes that the ephemerality index value assigned by the authors for this species is therefore 7/79 = 0.089.
