| Position Summary | The Research Associate I will join the Vogeler Research Lab in the Natural Resources Ecology Laboratory at CSU to work on applied ecological remote sensing research. Work will primarily focus on western U.S. forest/woodland systems, with the potential of contributing to other lab projects across additional national and international forest/woodland ecosystems. The primary project this position will contribute to involves developing a set of direct forest structure measurements (e.g., canopy height, cover, forest strata densities, single tree extractions) and modeled forest attributes (e.g., biomass, basal area, single tree dead/live classifications) of value to forest inventory assessments and management planning across the Black Hills, SD, leveraging a recent high density LiDAR collection and existing field database. The RA-I position will be part of a collaborative project team, where we are looking for a candidate with experience in forest LiDAR processing, compiling geospatial modeling reference data sets, conducting analyses within R and/or Python, geospatial analyses in GIS software, and developing communication materials to help deliver the spatial products and results to stakeholders as well as the scientific community. |
