Dr. Dahl has accumulated a wide range of materials concerning his research and fieldwork during his training as an undergraduate and graduate student, and the 21 years of active research he conducted at the Yerkes National Research Primate Center of Emory University. These materials include a unique collection of books and research papers about:
-
The conservation of tropical forests and forest ecology;
-
The conservation of non-human primates and their forest habitats;
-
Primate reproductive biology, sexual selection, and human evolution;
-
Weather, climate, and global warming;
-
Appropriate technology in the construction of primate enclosures.
-
Woodpeckers. These birds are of a most special interest to the School
The archives also include rare maps and materials (particularly photographs) about the areas where he has conducted fieldwork, i.e., the Comoro Islands, near Madagascar, and Belize, Central America.
The Deep Forest Field School is in process of curating this collection of materials so that it can be made readily available to appropriately qualified students and researchers. No charge will be made for this access. Private arrangements can be made with Dr. Dahl over the availability of food, refreshments, and accommodations (for students outside the Atlanta area).
Internships: High School students, undergraduate, and graduate students who have a research interest in a discipline well represented in the Archives can apply for an Internship. The student must be prepared to help curate the collection as part of their research endeavor. Submit your Resume, a letter of application explaining concisely your research interest, and two letters of recommendation (these must include a statement that the applicant is a student in good standing). Address your application materials to:
Deep Forest Field School (Internship), 459 Sinclair Ave., N.E., Atlanta, GA 30307-1946
