Description
This position will contribute to an NSF-FIRE project investigating how whiplashes (back-to-back extreme events) in global and regional moisture patterns drive forest hydrology and flammability across landscapes in the southeastern United States. The successful candidate will work with an interdisciplinary group of scientists at Mississippi State University, North Carolina State University, and the USDA Forest Service to quantify regional fuel loadings and conduct field-scale fuel moisture dynamic experiments to unravel the relationships between fuel moisture, forest disturbance, and wet-dry whiplashes across fuel sources.
