Graduate Students

A Note to Prospective Students: I am currently seeking a student at the Masters or PhD level to participate in a new project studying land use change in the Amazon River estuary. The student would work on the development of an agent based simulation of land use change in the study site. Students should have an interest in Land Use/Land Cover Change (LUCC), a background in GIS, and some programming experience (preferably Java). Entry to the graduate program could be as early as January 2006, although May or September 2006 are also acceptable.
