be tested and refined through well-conceived research in which the protected ecosystems are compared with those characterized by human disturbance. Excellent potential exists for the emergence of new ideas. Furthermore, the long-range proposal for the DMZ may stimulate the development of a center for ecosystem science at the Seoul National University, the consequence of which may be a broad scientific foundation for adjusting human populations in Korea to their natural resources. 12.

[[underline]]Employment[[/underline]] | In my present position, which began 1 July 1965, I hope to develop broad national and international programs in environmental biology with concentration at the higher levels of biological organization (populations and ecosystems). | During 17 years at Washington State University, where I became Professor of Zoology in 1963, I taught introductory biology and zoology, general ecology, and terrestrial vertebrate ecology. My research was primarily on ecology and behavior of -7-
