UC Berkeley Forestry Field Camp
Goals: The overall goal of the summer field program is to serve as an introduction to natural resource management as a field of scientific and professional work. Students in the program study the ecology of the Sierra Nevada, apply environmental monitoring and measurement techniques, and explore first-hand the management of forests, watersheds, and firesheds. By participating in the program students acquire a broad working knowledge of the concepts and techniques which foresters, land managers and environmental scientists use in their work. Studying these subjects in a field setting is the best way to learn about the ecology and management of forest and grassland ecosystems.
IIASA Young Scientists Summer Program
IIASA’s annual 3-month Young Scientists Summer Program (YSSP) offers research opportunities to talented young researchers whose interests correspond with IIASA’s ongoing research on issues of global environmental, economic and social change. Many of IIASA's National Member Organizations (NMOs) provide special grants to enable young scientists from their countries, or foreign students studying in their country, to participate in the program. From June through August accepted participants work within the Institute’s Research Programs under the guidance of IIASA scientific staff.
