Paul is a PhD Candidate at Yale University in the School of the Environment and Department of Anthropology, but he lives in Reno, and participates in lab meetings of the Great Basin Landscape Ecology Lab. We are very lucky to have him, as he is always very thoughtful, broadens our discussions, and brings a new perspective to the discussions.  Thank you Paul.

Joe Brehm and Anna Knight theses available

The Great Basin Landscape Ecology Lab now has two new masters students - Joe Brehm and Anna Knight. Joe's thesis is titled "Cheatgrass die-off in the Great Basin: A comparison of remote sensing detection methods and identification of environments favorable to die-off" and can be downloaded by clicking HERE. Anna's thesis is titled "Watershed-scale controls on riparian vegetation distribution and dynamics: Impacts of geomorphology, climate, and disturbance" and can be downloaded by clicking HERE. Great work Anna and Joe! I'd encourage you to take a look at their theses and any papers that result from them. Anna and Joe now both reside in Moab, Utah.  Congratulations on work well done and best wishes for you in your new positions.

Congratulations to Joe Brehm and Anna Knight for successfully defending their theses

Congratulations to Joe Brehm and Anna Knight for successfully defending their master's theses. Joe's defense presentation took place 10am, Friday July 26th, 2019 and the title of his thesis was "Cheatgrass Die-Off in the Great Basin: A Comparison of Remote Sensing Detection Methods and Identification of Environments Amenable to Die-Off". Anna's thesis presentation was Thursday, July 25, at 1 pm and the title was "Watershed-scale controls on riparian vegetation distribution and dynamics: Impacts of geomorphology, climate, and disturbance". Both presentation were very well attended and well received. You can find out more about Joe and Anna by clicking HERE and make sure to keep an eye out for their theses and scientific papers.  Great work Anna and Joe!

website overhaul on its way

Our lab is overhauling its website.  The old and new website will have the same URL  -https://naes.unr.edu/weisberg/ .  We're expecting the new site to be out within the next couple of weeks.  Expect an update when it is out.

Advertising two positions in our lab - M.S. in remote sensing of cheatgrass die-offs and Post Doc in Riparian Ecology

We are advertising two positions in our lab - one for an M.S. student and the other for a postdoctoral researcher.  Read the descriptions HERE
