> USGS Earth Science Intern Program*
> Administered by The Environmental Careers Organization
>
> Location: Lafayette, LA
> Length: 1 Year Minimum
> Description: USGS #164 Deadline to Apply is July 7, 1999 Internship to
> begin
> by August 1999
> The intern will participate in the compilation and analysis of ground-
and
> helicopter-based field data (with limited collection), including: canopy
> light
> attenuation measurements, canopy reflectance spectra, photography,
descriptive
> data (height, species type, etc.), etc., and relate this field data to
data
> collected with satellite or aircraft sensor systems (optical to
microwave).
> This project seeks to calibrate remote sensing data (satellite or
aircraft)
> with the field data, and suggest appropriate sensor types and ranges for
> discriminating different landcovers and assessing their health.
>
> Objectives of Internship:
> The internship will organize the field data into sub data sets related to
sub
> objectives within the overall project objectives. There are five main sub
> objectives; (1.) monitoring burn and herbivory impact and recovery, (2.)
> comparison of different types of wetlands with the optical and microwave
> data,
> (3.) detecting flooding beneath vegetation, (4.) describing phenological
> changes in vegetation, and (5.) selection of temporal, spatial, and
spectral
> resolutions for mapping and monitoring various wetland and adjacent
upland
> species.
>
> Specific Tasks:
> 1. Organize all field data by project.
> 2. Apply statistical analyses to field data as required by Project Chief.
> 3. Extraction of data from satellite and aircraft images (remotely sensed
> data).
>
> 4. Relate field data to remotely sensed data.
>
> Work Experience Benefit(s) to Intern:
> 1. Training in organizing and analyzing large, complex, and disparate data
> sets,
>
> 2. Training in statistical analysis,
> 3. Training and experience in field data collections in support of remote
> sensing projects, training in image processing (2d analysis) and
geographic
> information systems functions and output methodologies,
> 4. Experience in working with large (>Gigs) data bases, sophisticated Unix
> workstations, remote computer collections systems, and high speed network
> systems.
>
> Specific Qualifications Required:
> In order to be eligible for this program you must have graduated from a US
> College or University within the last 12 months, or plan to receive degree
by

Citizens
> must have attended college in the US and you must have work authorization
in
> the US for up to two years, without sponsorship.
>
> A bachelor's degree preferably in the physical sciences (including
geography
> and related fields) with a GPA above 2.9. Some computer experience in
> entering
> data and/or analyzing data sets. Some experience in remote sensing,
> geographic information systems, field data collection methods, or
techniques
> of physical analysis (engineering, geology, biology, chemistry,
oceanography,
> etc.).
>
> Additional Qualifications Desirable:
> Advanced image processing (Imagine, ERDAS, PCI, etc.), Advanced GIS
(ArcInfo,
> ArcView, etc.), computer programming (Fortran, visual basic, C, C++,
etc.),
> experience in field data collections and analyzing data from the filed
data
> collections.
>
> Stipend:
> $26,921/Year. You would officially be employed by the Environmental
Careers
> Organization, not the USGS. ECO would handle all administrative functions
of
> employment such as payroll, sick leave, timesheets, taxes, etc.
