Management Plan

Overall management will be the responsibility of the Principal Investigator; however, as in most research efforts, the roles of the Co-Investigators are crucial. Each of the Objectives and associated tasks and subtasks will be the responsibility of one of the Investigators. Table F.1. sets forth our assignment of responsibilities.

The Investigators will actively participant in the LBA Science Team for LBA-Ecology. Co-Investigator Xiangming Xiao from MBL will also participate in LCLUC meeting as the UNH-MBL-Princeton lead on the Landuse Tasks. Costs for participation in the science Team is partially being borne by our EOS-IDS proposal. There is a PhD. graduate student position planned for the duration of the LBA effort to be funded by this proposal. It is our plan to recruit this student from Brazil and actively engage the student at all levels of the LBA research effort.
