> Job 1-2. Saginaw Bay project - Muck. > > Project Overview: > Algal blooms and the resulting beach problems have arisen as key water > quality issues in Saginaw Bay, Lake Huron. As such, our lab has made > addressing these issues a top priority for the coming 2009 field season > (May- August). We seek to hire two (2) employees to help with various > aspects of our study, including: 1) Field surveys to measure the spatial > and temporal distribution of the algae causing the detritus (nearshore & > offshore) and the resulting onshore detritus, 2) In situ measurements of > nutrients and algal growth as a function of environmental parameters, and > algal transport within the bay, and 3) Lab experiments to measure algal > growth functions. Field sample collections and measurements, laboratory > experiments, and laboratory analysis will compose the bulk of the > responsibilities. The students will work with various researchers in the > Department of Fisheries and Wildlife at MSU, including Scott Peacor > (faculty), Dianna Dziekan (PhD student), Kim Peters (Masters student), and > scientists from NOAA's Great Lakes Environmental Research Laboratory > (GLERL) including Juli Bressie and Craig Stow. > > There are TWO positions with different applications.
