During his undergraduate degree, Josh volunteered with Ph.D. Candidate Joni Baumgarten where he examined arbuscular mycorrhizae of switchgrass (Panicum virgatum). He is currently an intern working the Master’s student Steve Schulze. They are sampling tardigrades from Plummer’s Island, MD to identify tardigrade diversity and examine their habitat use.

Julia is a rising sophomore interested in the ecology of the Pine Barrens, specifically its unique soil composition and the resulting species diversity. She will be completing an independent study with Dr. Katie Malcolm examining the effects of fire on soil properties beginning fall 2018. In addition, she is also interested in digital studies and environmental law.
