Two funded (tuition and stipend) M.S. positions have become available in the Bentley Lab at Sonoma State University starting in Spring 2025 (applications due Oct 31, 2024).

Students will work on grant-funded projects related to remote sensing (terrestrial laser scanning) of forests in Northern CA to investigate 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 field work and 3) skills related to spatial data processing, modeling, or coding (e.g., ArcGIS, R, python, TreeQSM, etc) to discuss the position before applying. It is possible that these positions can be deferred to Fall 2025 (applications due Jan 15, 2025).
