Graduate Internship through ORISE's HERE program An internship is available for one or both of the following two projects. We hope to begin in spring, but will consider candidates for summer.
Water quality modeling This study seeks to understand influences on the viability of the shortnose sturgeon population in the Ogeechee River, Georgia. This sub-project will focus on water quality issues by implementing the EDFC model and the SWAT model for this coastal watershed, with the goal of simulating seasonal changes in sturgeon habitat. Major in environmental science, environmental engineering or geography preferred. Quantitative skills (programming, GIS experience) helpful. Modeling fall Chinook salmon Contribute to a study of Snake River fall Chinook, focusing on environmental drivers that control migration decisions for juveniles. This is an excellent opportunity for a post-graduate quantitative ecologist with OO programming skills (C++ or F95/2003) to develop and apply a population model that considers flexible life history patterns. See http://www.orau.gov/hereatornl/ for information about the application and benefits. See my webpage http://www.esd.ornl.gov/~zij/ for information about the projects. Contact information below.
