Hello all,

The EAC has a wonderful opportunity for our rising junior and senior Engineering students wanting to positively impact our sophomore and incoming freshmen Engineering students. We’re looking for 4 to 6 self-driven students to become EAC Peer Tutors to start the beginning of Spring ’25. In this role, they will provide academic support, mentorship, and support the development of EAC programming. It’s also anticipated that this new group of EAC Tutors will help us welcome students into our new spaces in the IEB when it opens.

The positions will be open until filled and review of applications is ongoing.

Applications now being accepted on Handshake at  EAC Tutor Job # 9486020

Students,

This may be a good opportunity to practice your hydrology, coding and GIS skills. 

Position: Hourly Student Position

Project: EarthLab Project: Fish, Fire, Food, and Floodplains: Healing Place and People

Overview:

We are seeking an hourly student position with strong coding skills (python and/or R) to assist with our EarthLab-funded project, Fish, Fire, Food, and Floodplains: Healing Place and People, led by Dr. Monika Moskal in the SEFS Remote Sensing and Geospatial Analysis Lab. This project, co-developed with the Klamath Tribes and Applegate Forestry, addresses the interconnected challenges in the Upper Klamath Basin in south-central Oregon. Critical issues such as water shortages, toxic algae, endangered sucker fish, vulnerable salmon, and habitat degradation threaten the resilience of the ecosystem and the communities dependent on it. The project aims to inventory incised channels on the Klamath Reservation, enhance water quality and storage by reconnecting streams and floodplains, and strengthen ecosystem and community resilience to climate change through targeted restoration efforts.

Approach:

The student will work as part of a team to run existing modelling tools to meet these project goals. Methods include using recently acquired Lidar data to predict wetland locations and to run hydrologic flow models to identify streams and rivers as well as stream depth. This combined approach will help identify potential restoration sites and quantify the disconnect between streams and wetland floodplains.

Key Responsibilities:

• Apply and improve spatial modelling workflows in a coding environment (python, R ).
• Analyze geospatial datasets to support hydrological and ecological assessments.
• Collaborate with team members to interpret results and refine models as needed.
• Document workflow and findings for project transparency and continuity.
