参与地球活动 & 环境系统学院研究项目.  Many opportunities exist for undergraduate and graduate students to pursue research under the guidance of faculty mentors in Geosciences, Anthropology, Geography, 地理信息系统/遥感.  Some of the projects that you can participate in are listed below along with contact information.  从今天开始参与进来，打造你的简历!

Archaeology & Geoarcheology

Laboratory Assistant positions are available in the Archaeology Laboratory for 本科人类学澳门合法赌场官网 to work with archaeological collections and samples from more than a thousand sites in southern Indiana housed at ISU.  Contact Dr. Alex Badillo for further information about current projects and available positions.

Graduate student 地质考古学的研究机会在地球上是可用的 & 第四纪科学硕士项目.  Research is focused on landscape evolution and soil-geomorphic modeling in the lower Ohio River valley region.  欲了解更多信息，请联系 Dr. Alex Badillo.

Biogeochemistry

研究机会可用于 undergraduate and graduate students interested in studying the biogeochemistry and sediment geochemistry of marine and terrestrial environments on timescales ranging from hundreds of millions of years to modern day environmental problems.  Current student projects include environmental geochemistry of heavy metals in urban soils, 湖泊沉积物, and fluvial sediments and paleoceanographic studies of the Southern Ocean, Bering Sea, 以及海洋缺氧事件的磷地球化学.  Students working on research projects get hands-on experience collecting, processing, and analyzing their samples using state of the art equipment and instrumentation.  欲了解更多信息，请联系 Dr. Jennifer Latimer.

Dendrochronlogy & Paleoecology

研究机会: undergraduate and graduate students are available in dendrochronology involving the use of tree rings to reconstruct environmental variables such as fire, insect outbreaks, and climate. Students work on a variety of research projects throughout the United States.  There is currently funding for research in Indiana at the Big Oaks National Wildlife Refuge to examine the effect of fires on tree growth in the Eastern Deciduous Forest.  This is the first time that a complete fire history has been conducted in this many hard wood tree species in the eastern US.  Another long-term and on-going project is at the Bridger Antelope Trap in Wyoming to determine when the trap was built through examination of cutting dates for wood incorporated in the trap.  Funding is being pursued with the National Science Foundation to examine pandora moth outbreaks throughout the entire range of ponderosa pine trees in the western US.  This research will be a model for reconstructing insect outbreaks across the entire range of the organism and using the dendrochronological record of outbreak dynamics to define the operative spatial scales for these insects.  With all of this work undergraduate and graduate students have the opportunity to define their research and develop their own projects in many locations around the United States. 欲了解更多信息，请联系 Dr. James Speer.

环境科学

A broad array of research and experiential learning opportunities are available for undergraduates and graduate students in environmental sciences.  Several faculty at ISU are actively engaged in a wide variety of environmentally oriented research projects.  Most of these projects involve both field and laboratory-oriented research activities.  These projects include: investigation of microbial communities and geochemistry of acid mine drainage environments; ecological and biogeochemical responses to pollutants; phosphorus and carbon geochemistry of modern and ancient, 海水和淡水, environments; nutrient input history of  the ocean through time; ecological and biogeochemical responses of marine organisms to environmental change; and reconstruction of fire history, insect outbreaks, 随着时间的推移，气候也在变化.

古气候学和古海洋学

研究和体验式学习的机会可供 undergraduates and graduate 古气候学和古海洋学学生.  Several geosciences faculty study ancient oceans and/or climate change through time using a diverse assortment of techniques.  Projects include: geochemical analysis to determine changes in nutrient cycling in the Atlantic and South Pacific Oceans and the Bering Sea; development of microfossil proxies to assess methane flux history; and use of tree-rings to reconstruct climate change through time.  Each of these projects actively involve students in field and/or laboratory research activities.
