Seeking two students (undergraduate or graduate students)
The first part of the summer will be spent collecting detailed physical and biological data, using established protocols, in a major river restoration project on the S. Fork McKenzie River.
The second half of the summer’s work will involve an extensive, road-based, rapid-monitoring effort to characterize flow permanence in headwater streams. Interns will use high resolution GPS and tablets to collect observations for headwater streams on federal forest lands throughout western Oregon.
