Blanka Shaw (Buryova)
Herbarium Data Manager, blanka@duke.edu
Education:
Ph.D. Charles University, Prague, Czech Republic 2004
Biography:
Born in the Czech Republic, studying eight years in Botany Department of Charles University, Prague, and working eight years as bryologist in the Institute of Botany ASCR in Pruhonice near Prague. I came to Durham, NC, in 2004. Since October 2004, I am working as data manager in Duke Cryptogamic Herbarium, where I maintain data bases of bryophytes, lichens, fungi and vascular plants, and oversee a databasing project of southeastern US bryophytes. I am participating on 'Sphagnum of Alaska' project sponsored by National Geographic Society, and on Liverwort Tree of Life project. I have extensive field experience in temperate and boreal regions of Europe and North America, with focus mainly on bryophytes.
Research:
I am interested in systematics of moss genus Philonotis, and in bryophyte diversity of montane, alpine and wetland ecosystems. More..
