Research Exchange Trip to China

Undergraduate students from the Department of Ecology, Evolution and Environmental Biology (E3B) joined Professors Shahid Naeem and Matt Palmer, and Alex Varga, program manager, on a research exchange trip to China in May. Students met with Minzu University students and professors and had an opportunity to travel to several field sites across the country to learn about forests, agriculture and China’s minority groups. The trip was part of a broader collaboration between the Earth Institute Center for Environmental Sustainability, E3B and Minzu University, outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding signed in 2009, and made possible with the generous support of the Lao family.
