Coregonine restoration in the Great Lakes- David Bunnell
The principals of conservation biology are waiting to be applied to restore native coregonines in the Great Lakes. Native fishes have suffered extinctions and extirpations owing to loss of habitat, interactions with invasive species, and overfishing, and now fishery managers are committed to their restoration.
Recreational Fishing as driver of overexploitation in inland waters- Doug Beard
Do fisheries managers know the impacts of improving recreational fishing technology on the populations of fish they manage? The role of gear innovations in recreational fisheries is understudied as a driver of overexploitation in inland waters. Examining technology advances will inform recreational managment.
Water Withdrawal Footprint Visualizations- Daniel Goode
Decision makers, water use stakeholders, and the public at large need intuitive visualizations of the status and trends in water use in order to make wise management decisions. How can we best turn newly available details on water use in the US into geospatial information that can be easily understood, without biasing that information. Help us create maps that make our water use data come alive.
Strategic Communications for Land Remote Sensing- Timothy Stryker
Are you interested in communicating the value of science and technology? Are you excited about the use of Earth observations to help solve society's most pressing problems? If so, then come work with the USGS to advance the use of land imaging satellite observations with key stakeholders!
Conservation Genomics to Reduce Climate Change Impacts- Toni Lyn Morelli
Northern New England is a fascinating landscape of conifers, unique wildlife, mountainous landscapes, and warming climates. Help us better understand whether red squirrel populations are responding to climate change and predict how that will impact the vulnerable boreal birds that they prey upon.
Invasive Species and Climate Change- Toni Lyn Morelli
The topic of how climate change will exacerbate the impacts of invasive species is at the cutting edge of conservation biology and applied ecology. We are looking for someone to work with a group of researchers and natural resource managers under the paradigm of translational ecology, producing publications and designing research that will improve conservation outcomes on the ground
Incorporating Citizen Science to improve Biodiversity Knowledge- Toni Lyn Morelli
We are inviting you to participate in an exciting project that brings together citizen science data from iNaturalist and other online platforms to improve currently static biodiversity databases. This project will ultimately identify invasive species, taxonomy changes, and potential climate migrants that will aid conservation efforts on public lands.
Ecosystem Services of Urban Stormwater Management- Kristina Hopkins
As urban development continues to expand, the ecosystem services provided by the urban landscape will be increasingly important to human well-being. Join our interdisciplinary team to help us quantify the water quality services provided by urban stormwater management practices such as rain gardens, infiltration trenches, and detention ponds.
