Three New Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellows Will Conduct Coastal and Marine Research
A new group of Ph.D. graduates will join the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as Mendenhall Postdoctoral Research Fellows in fiscal year 2007 (FY07, starting October 2006). Linda Gundersen, USGS Acting Associate Director for Geology, announced their names in early April, noting that "we continue to attract some of the best new Ph.D. graduates to address a broad range of research topics." Three of the new Mendenhall Fellows plan to conduct research in coastal or marine areas:
The FY07 Fellows will be the seventh group hired for 2-year appointments under the Mendenhall program, which began in 2001. "The influx of postdoctoral talent continues to be a vital resource for the future of our science," wrote Gunderson, adding that she has been quite impressed by "the energy and productivity of our Mendenhall Fellows and the stimulation they provide our permanent staff."
