The Appalachian Laboratory of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science is seeking a highly motivated research assistant to work on projects in the lab focused on watershed hydrology and landscape connectivity. An example of the projects in which the individual will participate is a NASA-funded effort to understand and predict the relationship between flooding and land cover/land use change associated with the extraction of natural resources (primarily coal and timber) in the Appalachian Mountains and Ukrainian Carpathians.
