Summer Undergraduate Research Opportunity in the Sierra de Las Minas of Guatemala

We would like to add to our team a highly motivated student interested in working at the interface between Ecology and Geomorphology.  Our project seeks to understand how variation in soil fertility influences plant traits that play a critical role in slope stability in tropical mountains.  The student participating in this project will learn about soils, plants, and roots and will have the opportunity to develop a research project. For more information visit our lab (http://tlselab.uprrp.edu/research/opportunities.htm) and send any inquiry to Dr. Carla Restrepo (crestre@hpcf.upr.edu). The deadline for receiving the applications is February 21.
