Introduction to Scientific Literature Review Process and Opportunity to Develop Project in Ecology

---

Research Description

This internship will contribute to an ongoing PhD project in the Seedscape Ecology Research Group that investigates how multiple global change drivers (such as climate change, land-use change, and atmospheric alterations) interact to affect the resilience of tropical terrestrial ecosystems. Understanding these complex interactions requires an extensive review of existing literature, supported by modern tools for synthesis and analysis. The Undergraduate Research Intern will be trained in the literature review process in ecology and global change research, while gaining hands-on experience with artificial intelligence– based tools that support literature reviews.
