M.S. and Ph.D.assistantships are available for students with broad interests
in soil science and biogeochemistry.    Student thesis research will examine
physical and biochemical controls on ecosystem carbon and nitrogen cycling
in gas, solution and / or solid phases through comparisons between native
(forests, grasslands) and cereal crop ecosystems.  Research can address a
variety of basic and applied questions and span scales from laboratory
microcosms to watersheds.    Students can pursue degrees in Soil Science,
