Sponsored Penn Department of Biology and Parternships for International Research and Education (PIRE)
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.
Applications closed for summer 2009. Applications for the 2010 field season will be due in mid-January 2010.
