Degree of Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) Programs of study leading to the PhD in biology, with special reference to forest biology, may be arranged (see the section entitled Higher Degrees in Biology in this publication). After satisfying the requirements of the Department of Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, which normally involve one or two years of coursework in Cambridge, the student may complete the dissertation research at the Harvard Forest in Petersham.
Fields of Study. Special fields of interest to staff members vary but generally include: ecology, forest soils, forest dynamics, land-use history, paleoecology, wetland biology, tree physiology, and anatomy. Current research is available in detail in the Annual Report of the Harvard Forest. This publication is available at http://harvardforest.fas.harvard.edu or upon request.
Fellowships and Assistantships. The Harvard Forest awards fellowships through the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
