We need students to help collect data to enter into ArcGIS Field Maps. This will include measuring, determining tree species and assessing basic tree health. Students will work with my team and individually. Data usage may be required at some times, but a tablet is available to use.

conduct research that will provide data and information consistent with the goals of
the GAP. These properties have previously been inaccessible to researchers. This new
opportunity, coupled with the unique nature of these properties (i.e., large protected
urban preserves), offers the ability to study a host of interesting questions. OWP is
particularly interested in research that seeks to understand the impact of ecological
restoration on ecosystem health or biodiversity, studies that take place across
interesting urban gradients (e.g., canopy cover, impervious surface, pollutant or other
water quality parameter), studies that assess stream or aquatic health through any
biotic or abiotic metric, and studies that provide general biodiversity information across
our properties or across ecosystems within properties.		Undergraduate, Graduate (MS), Graduate (PhD)UnsureUnsureNoSome external GIS work would be very helpful if students are interested. Ecology, Wildlife Management & Conservation, GIS/Geography

The site is part of Snapshot USA and initial point counts for birds will be undertaken this spring. Over time, repeated point counts, camera-trapping, and monitoring for insects and aquatic biodiversity will be rolled out, as will communication to neighbors and the public at large about findings and trends.

We are interested in collaborating with graduate students and their mentors who are interested in analyzing different aspects of our data including: movements, resource use, CMR, thermal (ibuttons), overwintering, reproductive ecology, population genetics, diet, parasites, and other related topics. Graduate (MS), Graduate (PhD)UnsureUnsureOur university does not currently have a graduate program, so enrollment and funding support would need to be from another institutionYes; however there are opportunities for the student to also work on site as desired.
