      IGERT Fellow

      This Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) award supports the development of an interdisciplinary graduate program in Ecosystem Services for Urbanizing Regions at Portland State University, in collaboration with Heritage University, and an array of city, state, and federal agencies, and community partners. Ecosystem services are the conditions and processes provided by natural ecosystems that sustain and fulfill human life. Rapid urbanization has contributed to widespread degradation of ecosystem services, thus creating a demand for scientists and managers who can address these issues. This program integrates scholarship from economics, environmental science, engineering, geosciences, urban studies and planning, business administration and social sciences to understand the complex roles that ecosystem services play in supporting rapidly growing urban areas of the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
