Congrats to Marek Jakubowski!

Marek Jakubowski has finished and has turned in his dissertation!

Congrats to Lisa Schile!

Lisa Schile just finished and has turned in her dissertation.

Tidal Wetland Vegetation in the San Francisco Bay Estuary: Modeling Species Distributions with Sea-Level Rise

Her dissertation looks at the changes our SF Bay marshes will likely face in this century through rigorous field experimentation, remote sensing and spatial modeling.

Congratulations to Dr. Schile!  Lisa will be starting a new postdoc position at the Smithsonian Institution studying carbon sequestration in wetlands in Abu Dhabi. So cool!
