Science Fellowship Program Studies Effects of Everglades Restoration
The School of Natural Resources and Environment has partnered with the National Park Service through a South Florida/Caribbean-Cooperative Ecosystems Studies Unit agreement on a two-year, $575,000 grant "Science Fellowships in Everglades Restoration Ecology."
The goal of the postdoctoral fellowship program is to develop and apply methods for evaluating the effects of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan (CERP) on wildlife and fishery resources, vegetation dynamics, water quality, and key ecological processes in the Everglades ecosystem. Fellows are part of a multidisciplinary group of specialists at the South Florida Natural Resources Center in Everglades National Park, Homestead, Fla. Tonya Howington oversees the program, and Stephen Humphrey, director of SNRE Academic Programs, is the principal investigator.
Current postdoctoral fellows are Douglas Donalson and Cristina Ugarte. Faculty advisers include Donald DeAngelis, U.S. Geological Survey/University of Miami, Department of Biology and Frank Mazzotti, Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center. National Park Service advisers include Quan Dong and Oron L. Bass, Jr.
Tae-Woong Kim was a former postdoctoral fellow with University of Miami faculty adviser, David Chin and National Park Service adviser, Hosung Ahn.
