Students Awarded LDWF Grants
Congratulations to RNR Graduate Students Ivan Prock and Zhen Xu!
Two of Dr. Yi-jun Xu’s graduate students, Ivan Prock and Zhen Xu, have each been awarded a Louisiana Department of Wildlife and Fisheries "Environmental Education Commission" grant. Ivan’s grant is to study sediment availability in Southeastern Louisiana and Zhen will be examining the relationships between dissolved oxygen and chlorophyll in University Lake. The Louisiana Environmental Education Commission’s mission is to promote environmental education at all academic levels with the result of producing a literate citizenry who can make informed natural resource-related decisions. Congratulations!
