The Division of Plant & Soil Sciences at West Virginia University has an opening for an M.S. or a Ph.D. student starting in August 2009 or January 2010. The student will collaborate on efforts to develop digital soil property maps at regional and continental scales. Efforts will include regionalizing and disaggregating existing vector soil survey information, incorporating existing and new point data, and investigating the use of raster data sources to improve the spatial prediction of soil classes and soil properties. The specific project, funded by the US Forest Service, is to develop spatial prediction models of soil organic carbon across the Northeast and North Central United States based on detailed soil map information and soil point data. We seek an individual with an interest in studying soil variability and spatial modeling, as well as an understanding of geographic information science and statistical modeling techniques.
