<ol>
<li>Using existing field, lidar, and hyperspectral datasets at a number of study areas in the Great Basin of the Western US to parameterize, initialize, calibrate, and verify the Ecosystem Demography (ED) model, and</li><li>Parameterizing and exploring the impacts of fire mitigation strategies (e.g., mowing, green strips) on the long-term distribution, abundance, and coexistence of grasses, forbs, and shrubs in these ecosystems.<span style="font-family:Helvetica; font-size:10pt"> </span></li></ol>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt; vertical-align:baseline"><span style="font-size:10pt; font-family:Helvetica">The successful candidate is expected to work collaboratively with and benefit from the expertise of a number of research scientists, postdocs, and
graduate students with expertise in land modeling, remote sensing of terrestrial ecosystems and hydrology, and land management and restoration ecology. These potential colleagues are currently housed within the Lab for Ecohydrology and Alternative Futuring
(LEAF), the Boise Center Aerospace Laboratory (BCAL), and the USGS Forest and Rangeland Ecosystem Science Center (FRESC).</span></p>
