Summer Research in Mongolia

Advancing the training of graduate and undergraduate students is a major goal of the project. Both Ph.D. students and undergraduates are directly involved in the field research each summer at the Lake Hövsgöl ILTER site. The site is very remote, requiring 2-3 days travel from Ulaanbaatar, and does not have running water or electricity. Housing is in gers - traditional Mongolian structures, which are warm and weatherproof. Due to site limitations, students must be in good health and adaptable.
