The Visiting Geographical Scientist Program (VGSP) welcomes applications for the current academic year.
Brian Chase, a geographical scientist at the University of Montpellier in France, turned to urine accretions left by the animals thousands of years ago; hyrax colonies use the same rock shelters for generation after generation, depositing pollen, calcium remnants, charcoal particles, stable isotopes, and other detritus in their urine (black splotches on rock in main image).
We targeted a broad geographical mix of scientists across Europe, North America, Asia and the rest of the world, receiving more than 2,800 responses from across the major disciplines of the natural sciences.
Probably due to their relative geographical isolation, Australian scientists are much more open to mobility than my Europeans colleagues.
It is increasingly used as a means to gather information about species over a wide geographical area that scientists would be unable to cover by themselves.
They represent the island's geographical extremes and offer scientists the best look at the population's overall genetic diversity.
Scientists analysed the geographical spread of the main threats to amphibians and found that the richest regions in terms of biodiversity are also the ones that are under the greatest threat from climate change and the loss of habitats caused by changes to the way land is used.
To better represent the geographical distribution and involvement of scientists and clinicians with adequate publishing experiences in international peer-reviewed journals, the following procedures were implemented.
It lists each scientist's dates, geographical location, mentors, students, and discipline.
The data sets underpinning the website are linked in a single place, helping scientists new to the geographical data navigate the information.
