Beavers are feeling pretty good today especially about Georgia and Pennsylvania and the secret service setting up air space over Biden’s house in Delaware. I’m not jumping to conclusions but get your forks ready, because thinks are looking just about “done”.
This provides an excellent backdrop for me to give a cheerful interview today on Coe Lewis “Coexist” Podcast. I learned yesterday that I’ll be on air with Project Coyote’s Michele Lute, so that’s perfect because we are old friends with Coyote people. Pretty clever to put all the unpopular animals that are actually really good for you in one day. Apparently it will air after thanksgiving, and I’ll post the inks and Megan Isadore at our fifth festival in 2012.
In the mean time maybe you know a graduate student ready for this:
Graduate Assistantship – M.S.
We are seeking a highly-motivated M.S. student to join our interdisciplinary water quality and riparian management research team in the Department of Natural Resource Ecology and Management at Iowa State University (ISU).
Project title and overview:
Dam! Impacts of Beaver Dams on Surface and Groundwater Quality
This field and laboratory-intensive project aims to quantify impacts of beaver dams on nutrient and sediment loading, hydrology, and stream channel morphology within agriculturally-dominated Iowa watersheds. Project affords ample collaboration potential with partners within and beyond ISU, including: ISU Extension and Outreach, Iowa Department of Natural Resources, Iowa Geological Survey, USDA National Laboratory for Agriculture and the Environment, and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. This project is funded by the Iowa Nutrient Research Center (cals.iastate.edu/inrc/).
You read that right. IOWA is looking for a research candidate to study the nutrients saved by BEAVER DAMS. Honestly I wasn’t sure I’d live long enough for this to happen but if Georgia can become a blue state anything is possible.
Wish me luck with San Diego’s rock star DJ. She’s pretty so=cal. Called me “Angel”.
