\"\"Students Wanted<\/span><\/strong><\/h2>\n

I am seeking graduate (MS and PhD levels) and undergraduate students to join my research group. I have current and pending funding for research projects in Alaska and elsewhere.<\/p>\n

Financial support:<\/strong> All students who are accepted to the graduate program are funded as either Teaching or Research Assistants. Undergraduate assistants are frequently needed for the lab and the field.<\/p>\n

Graduate degrees:<\/strong> My students pursue their Master\u2019s degree in either Geology<\/a> or in the Paleoenvironments Emphasis of Environmental Sciences & Policy<\/a>, and their PhD degree in Earth Sciences & Environmental Sustainability<\/a>\u00a0with an emphasis in either Climate & Environmental Change<\/a> or Earth Systems<\/a>.<\/p>\n

For more information:<\/strong> Please contact me<\/a> or any of my graduate students<\/a> for information about the graduate programs<\/a> at Northern Arizona University. NAU<\/a> has a great deal to offer students, and Flagstaff<\/a> is a wonderful town in an attractive, high-elevation, American West setting.<\/p>\n

Career paths:<\/strong> Since 1995, I have served as the primary advisor for 36 successful graduate students<\/a>. Almost all of the MS theses have led to publications in scientific journals. My students have gone on to professional careers in:\u00a0geoscience consultants,\u00a0government- and university-based scientists,\u00a0university professors,\u00a0college instructors, and small business owners.<\/p>\n

Facilities:\u00a0<\/strong>Students are trained in both field and laboratory procedures. The laboratory combines techniques in sediment<\/a> analyses and \u00a0geochronology<\/a>, including radiocarbon<\/a>. Daily operations are overseen by a full-time laboratory manager.<\/p>\n
