PROJECT SPOTLIGHT
SUMMER SCHOLARSHIPS: Thermal tolerance and response to climate change in plants from extreme environments
This project will explore the microenvironmental conditions that alpine species are exposed to and how these species cope with extreme conditions in situ in the Snowy Mountains and in the lab. Students will be involved in the deployment of sensors in the field and they will learn different methods to measure thermal tolerance in plants and other soil, air and plant parameters.
