To explore these questions, we also study ecological, evolutionary, and biogeographic determinants of species distributions by measuring physiological, morphological, and anatomical functional traits. We explore ecosystem-level consequences of differences in species and trait distributions, for instance, traits of plants, microbes and insects that most affect rates and forms of C release with feedback to the earth system.</p> 64 65<p>We ask these biogeochemical and macroevolutionary questions at the <a href="https://www.caryinstitute.org/">Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies</a> in Millbrook, NY.</p> 66 67<div id="carousel" class="carousel slide" data-ride="carousel" data-interval="5000" data-pause="hover"> 68 <!-- Menu --> 69 <ol class="carousel-indicators"> 70 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="0" class="active"></li> 71 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="1"></li> 72 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="2"></li> 73 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="3"></li> 74 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="4"></li> 75 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="5"></li> 76 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="6"></li> 77 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="7"></li> 78 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="8"></li> 79 <li data-target="#carousel" data-slide-to="9"></li> 80 81 82 </ol> 83 84 <!-- Items --> 85 <div class="carousel-inner"> 86 87 <div class="item active"> 88 <img src="/images/slider7001400/android-chrome-512x512.png" alt="Slide 1" /> 89 </div> 90 <div class="item"> 91 <img src="/images/slider7001400/BRAZIL_YURIAB.jpg" alt="Slide 2" /> 92 </div> 93 <div class="item"> 94 <img src="/images/slider7001400/MIAMI.jpg" alt="Slide 3" /> 95 </div> 96 <div class="item"> 97 <img src="/images/slider7001400/thomas_termite.jpg" alt="Slide 4" /> 98 </div> 99 <div class="item"> 100 <img src="/images/slider7001400/yuridrone.jpg" alt="Slide 5" /> 101 </div> 102 <div class="item"> 103 <img src="/images/slider7001400/amyhike.jpg" alt="Slide 6" /> 104 </div> 105 <div class="item"> 106 <img src="/images/slider7001400/termite_store.jpg" alt="Slide 7" /> 107 </div> 108 <div class="item"> 109 <img src="/images/slider7001400/SA3.jpg" alt="Slide 8" /> 110 </div> 111 <div class="item"> 112 <img src="/images/slider7001400/amy_cold.jpg" alt="Slide 8" /> 113 </div> 114 <div class="item"> 115 <img src="/images/slider7001400/DRO.JPG" alt="Slide 9" /> 116 117 </div> 118 <a class="left carousel-control" href="#carousel" role="button" data-slide="prev"> 119 <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-chevron-left" aria-hidden="true"></span> 120 <span class="sr-only">Previous</span> 121 </a> 122 <a class="right carousel-control" href="#carousel" role="button" data-sli

Amy is attending various meetings the USA, Brazil and Chile, as she builds up projects in the Brazilian Cerrado, Chilean fjords and Patagonia and Antarctica. She is also putting on her New Phytologist Editorâs hat, joining both the next generation scientists and plant-fungal invasions meetings. She will be shifting lab headquarters up to Cary Institute this summer. 130<br /> 131<br /> 132Abbey (5th year PhD student) completed her fieldwork in Queensland, Australia and is avidly analyzing data and writing papers on internal stem damage of trees and termite mound carbon dioxide and methane fluxes. She was recently awarded NSF GRFP INTERN funding to spend 6 months based with <a href="https://www.arbormeta.au/">ArborMeta</a>, learning the fundamentals of LiDAR in forest research. 133<br /> 134<br /> 135Yuri (3rd year PhD student) is conducting his second fieldwork campaign in the Brazilian Cerrado. Yuri is sampling lots of termites, plants and soils from the ground and air to understand how murundus (earthmounds) alter the ecosystem. He recently passed his qualifying exams and is working on his dissertation proposal and his first chapter on termite surveys from the Cerrado. 136<br /> 137<br /> 138Baptiste (Postdoc) is based at the University of Queensland in Australia where he is coordinating a continental scale wood decay experiment across Terrestrial Ecosystem Research Network sites. He is also coordinating several global literature compilation and experimental data collection studies on termite mound properties and rapidly writing up projects on Australian wood decay. 139<br /> 140<br /> 141If you are interested in joining the team please head to our vacancies page for more information.
