Internships and dissertation research scholarship: Royal Forestry Society
Potential research projects
There are many exciting options for under- and post-graduate research projects that could make use of techniques learned in Geography modules and analyze data collected over the years by my research group. See the Research page for more info about potential projects and contact Ted Feldpausch to discuss ideas.

Teaching Material and Infographics
The following material was produced in collaboration with research partners in Brazil, local practitioners, and Brazilian artists as part of our NERC-supported Amazon Past Fire Project. These resources–in English, Portuguese, and Spanish–are currently being used in Amazonia to teach communities and school children about the historical use of fire, how fire use differs today, with negative impacts on carbon storage, species diversity, and non-timber forest products, and future scenarios for fire and its effects on Amazonian forests. If you use these materials, please reference this project and web page.
