[ECOLOG-L] Citizen scientists needed to help us online with marsh ecology

[Pennings, Steven C]

We need citizen scientists to help us better understand the ecology of the salt 
marsh. We have two web sites where you can help us with our research.
The first web site is the "Image Matching Game" site 
(https://scalingupmarshscience.marsci.uga.edu ). Since 2010, we have taken 
thousands of overlapping photographs of a salt marsh, and we need to align the 
photographs to create detailed maps for each year (each year consists of about 
10,000 photographs). Because the images are taken from close to the marsh 
surface, and lack strong visual features, software programs are unable to align 
them automatically. Humans are better at this task than computers, and can 
identify matching features in pairs of photographs.
The second web site is the "Marsh Explorer" 
(https://marshexplorer.marsci.uga.edu/ ).  This site asks you to identify the 
plant and animal species present in the photographs. This is a harder task, but 
it gets us the detailed information that we need to understand the distribution 
of each species. It is also more educational, because users will learn the 
names of the common marsh species.
Both web sites teach some basic facts about salt marsh ecology. (If you have 
ideas about facts that are missing, please send us suggestions using the 
feedback link).
We'd love your help at both sites, and your feedback! Please pass this on to 
your friends and to educators who might want to use it in their classes.

[ECOLOG-L] Citizen scientists needed to help online with marsh ecology

[Pennings, Steven C]

We need citizen scientists to help us better understand the ecology of coastal 
salt marshes. We have over 60,000 overlapping photographs of a salt marsh, 
taken every year from 2010 to 2017, and need to align them to create detailed 
maps for each year. Because the images are taken from close to the marsh 
surface, and lack strong visual features, software programs are unable to align 
them automatically. The "Scaling up marsh science" web site 
(http://scalingupmarshscience.marsci.uga.edu ) allows citizen scientists like 
you to help us by identifying matching features in pairs of photographs. This 
information will then be used to create a photographic map of a large area, and 
to study how this area changes from year to year. At the same time, you'll 
learn some basic facts about salt marsh ecology. Please pass this on to your 
friends and to educators who might want to use it in their classes.

[ECOLOG-L] Summer internship- Grassland Pollinator Ecology

[Pennings, Steven C]

We seek a motivated student with experience identifying insects or plants to 
work with biologists at the Katy Prairie Conservancy and the University of 
Houston over the summer of 2017.  The student will examine plant and pollinator 
communities in natural and restored prairies around the Houston area.

The student will be required to work independently after training, and will be 
expected to spend long hours outdoors in uncomfortable (hot, humid) conditions. 
 The student will be responsible for collecting and identifying pollinators 
from pollinator traps, observing pollinator behavior, measuring plant 
communities, and collecting and identifying insects from sweep net samples at 
several prairie sites.

Applicants should have experience working with dichotomous keys.  We will be 
most interested in applicants with experience identifying plants or insects. 
Applicants should be available for ten weeks during the summer; the ten weeks 
do not have to be continuous.

The intern will be paid $12 per hour for ten weeks of work.  The intern will 
relocate to Houston for 10 weeks of the summer at their own expense, must have 
a reliable vehicle, and will not be additionally reimbursed for local travel to 
access field sites. Field sites will be within a 60 mile radius of the 
University of Houston.

To apply, please submit a cover letter, resume, unofficial transcripts, and 
contact information for two references to Steven Pennings at 
scpen...@central.uh.edu. Applications should be 
received by March 19 in order to receive full consideration.
