Conservation Biology Degree Sought: PHD Advisor(s): Dovciak |
Undergraduate Study: Universidad de Buenos Aires (Biology) Personal Statement I majored in Zoology in Argentina, and earned an MSc for working towards the conservation of native ecosystems in productive landscapes. My practice as an environmental consultant took me on extended tours through the wild side of some of the most important natural landscapes of Argentina: the Patagonian deserts, the Andes mountains, the Iberá wetlands, and the subtropical forests in Misiones. Graduate Research Topic My current research takes place across the Finger Lakes and the Adirondack Mountains in New York State, and aims to understand the role and importance of ants in the dispersal of forest wildflowers and in the recovery of the herbaceous layer in secondary forests.

Personal Statement Bozho nikanek, Getsimnajeknwet ndeznekas. Bodewadmi kwe endow. Vermont ne dotchbya. Hello friends, my name is Susannah Howard, and I am a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation. I am from Thetford, Vermont located on the western bank of the Connecticut River. In May 2019, I graduated from Smith College (Northampton, Massachusetts) with a BA in Environmental Geosciences and certificate in Native American and Indigenous Studies. At SUNY ESF, I continue to pursue an interdisciplinary approach to science through the lens of Indigneous peoples as a Sloan Scholar in the Center for Native Peoples and the Environment. I am studying how the culturally important plants of the Potawatomi are and will be impacted by climate change, and how these impacts might be mitigated through intertribal collaborations among the Potawatomi Nations in the future.

Personal Statement In addition to research, classwork, and teaching here at SUNY-ESF, I am also a professional wedding photographer traveling to photograph people in love. Through photographs, I found my love for people, and that love for people has been incorporated into my love for science, so I am fascinated by the intersection of human culture and ecological community. Particularly, I hope to show that humans can not only be a force for environmental good, but that we have a responsibility to do so. It would be an honor if you stopped by my corner of the web: www.garrettmaynard.com Graduate Research Topic I am developing a project relating to the urban restoration of locally relevant food species (such as Morus rubra, the red mulberry) in Syracuse city parks. The project's focal points are the effects of European buckthorn (Rhamnus cathartica) and multiple planting strategies on the efficacy of this restoration. This will provide meaningful insights and guidance for the growing urban food forest movement, city planners, and ecological restorationists alike. Undergraduate Study Roberts Wesleyan College (Biology with Environmental Science). My undergraduate honors capstone project focused on restoring native pollinator habitat on campus while also performing a three-season pollinator population assessment in multiple campus areas.

This aquatic invasive species has recently been spreading in New York and across the Great Lakes Region in the US and Canada. It often forms dense monocultures by outcompeting and displacing native macrophyte species. Previous research has primarily focused on the distribution of starry stonewort, but little has explored its potential ecological impacts.

Undergraduate Study: ( ) Personal Statement From Iquitos, the capital of the biggest "state" of Peru, which is part of the Amazon rainforest and contains one of the highest levels of biodiversity in South America. I'm a Fulbright and Concytec grantee Master's student in Environmental & Forest Biology. My background includes wildlife monitoring (using invasive and non-invasive sampling methods for terrestrial and aquatic mammals, primates, alligators, birds, and bats) in the tropical rainforests of Peru and part of the Andes Amazon region. My focus is on wildlife conservation, particularly mammal research. I also have experience in field work in extreme conditions with indigenous communities and rural citizens as part of different projects launched in the Peruvian Amazon rainforest. My research interests center on wild cats and their prey, understanding their inter- and intraspecific interactions, and human-wildlife conflicts.
