NERI is pleased to partner with graduate students researching ecological issues in the Northwest to offer assistance with project development and support.
From 2004-2006 members of the NERI board assisted Tierra Curry, a NERI volunteer, with her thesis research at Portland State University on the distribution and reproductive success of pond-breeding amphibians in the Portland metro area. The NERI board offered expert advice on site selection and training on egg and tadpole identification, as well as being available to provide overall ecological context and regional savvy.
NERI experts are available to mentor graduate students on a variety of natural history topics.
