STUDENTS MENTORED AT CABANG PANTI  IN INDONESIAN BORNEO

At the Gunung Palung National Park in Indonesian Borneo, I advised (with Mark Leighton) a number of international and Indonesian students who worked on projects based at our remote field station at Cabang Panti. These included some of my graduate and senior thesis students from Dartmouth. There were also several others (listed below with their research topics) who joined our project for research training and experience between their undergraduate and graduate programs. During their time at Cabang Panti, they were not associated with any academic institution, but all senior-authored at least one published paper from their research.
