Graduate Students
M.S. positions are available in the Bentley Lab. Students will work on grant-funded projects related to remote sensing (terrestrial laser scanning and drones) of forests in Northern CA to investigate the effects of forest management and wildfire on forest structure, carbon accounting, and modeling of future wildfire risk. Those who are interested should email Dr. Bentley (lisa.bentley@sonoma.edu) with a CV and description of 1) research interests, 2) experience with fieldwork, and 3) skills related to spatial data processing, modeling, or coding (e.g., ArcGIS, R, python, Pix4D, etc) to discuss the position before applying.
