This Issue:*Comparison of Trees Grown w/o Herbicide Treatment *and Some 
Other Good Things

*COMPARISON OF TREES GROWN W/O HERBICIDE TREATMENT/-- /*This past 
February, David Robinson wrote, /Is anyone aware of studies comparing 
trees grown w/o herbicide treatment v. trees with treatment? I know 
there is a visible comparison after just the first few years because of 
the lack of competition from grasses, etc. but I was talking with 
someone that seemed to remember something several years ago showing 
really no difference as the years go by.... and of course the lack of 
plant diversity should be taken into account as well.../. Here are some 
sites that may be of interest. If you know of others, please contact

*PhD Fellowships in Remote Sensing*- Virginia Tech (USA) - PhD 
Fellowships in Remote Sensing are available immediately in Virginia 
Tech's new Interdisciplinary Graduate Program. Remote Sensing is an 
interdisciplinary field which is evolving rapidly as more and more 
techniques are developed and implemented to address a wide range of 
scientific and societal problems. Virginia Tech's new remote sensing 
graduate curriculum spans multiple departments, including courses in 
electrical engineering, computer engineering, forestry, geography, 
history, economics, computer science, and statistics. Research 
opportunities exist within the Center for Space Science and Engineering 
Research (Space at VT) and the Center for Environmental Applications of 
Remote Sensing (CEARS). Interested applicants are encouraged to visit 
http://rsigep.frec.vt.edu/ to learn more about specific research 
opportunities, the application process, and to communicate with 
prospective advisors. General questions can be directed to Dr. Joseph 
Baker (jo.baker at vt.edu <mailto:jo.baker at vt.edu>) or Dr. Valerie Thomas 
(thomasv at vt.edu <mailto:thomasv at vt.edu>). From Artur Gil, Applied GIS RS
