Research Projects Summer 2008
Applicants should carefully read both the project descriptions and the webpage of the sponsoring faculty member. As part of the application students must specify their top three choices of research projects they would like to conduct in collaboration with faculty. Projects are grouped here within several broad categories.

Ocean Biogeochemistry Response of Ocean Bacteria to Global Climate Change Ocean Ecosystem Model and Satellite Chlorophyll Concentrations Phytoplankton Community Composition in a Global Ecosystem Model Wind Forcing of Ocean Biology - Remote Sensing Study	Terrestial Biogeochemistry Global Warming Potential of Urban Turfgrass Ecosystems Exploring Microbial Competition and Enzyme-based Nutrient Cycling
Atmospheric Sciences Atmospheric Chemistry - Model Simulation of Satellite Observations of Ozone Trace Gases in Polar Ice Cores Reconstructing Past Asian Monsoon Variability from Speleothems	Global Hydrology Remote Sensing of Groundwater Storage Variations in Africa Nutrient Transport by Rivers The Impact of Climate Change and Population on Water Availability
Ice Sheet Dynamics Inverting Ice-Stream Velocities for Basal Friction Ice Dynamics in Antarctica and Greenland
