Overall Research Project Description:
Help maintain and update an existing water quality Arc-GIS website (https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/86366d848de944058790109ab405c2ce/page/Page--1/) with new functions and research and integrate date for various layers.   Student should already be proficient in Arc-GIS or similar GIS system.

Research Tasks:
1.  Be trained by FSU Geography professor familiar with site already
2.  Learn various water quality data resources and become familiar with how to download data and integrate with existing GIS site
3.  Determine if existing data needs to be update from these sources
4.  Review project list for new layers, determine data sources and obtain data, create new layer and integrate data


Skills that research assistant(s) may need::
Familiar with Arc-GIS or similar application required
Ability to determine sources of new GIS water quality data 


Mentoring Philosophy:
Once familiarity with our Arc-GIS website is accomplished, a list of projects will be created including an agreed upon timeline for completion.  This will be done with meetings at Peoples South Bank meeting room.  From there, I expect updates twice a week and questions immediately and meetings at the bank every other week or at Starbucks near the campus.  A calendar of days the student will not be available should be provided at the first meeting.   I should be contacted immediately if something occurs preventing work to be done at anytime.

Please provide a link to your publications, a video clip, or a website for your research project (if applicable):: www.treg1.org ,   https://www.facebook.com/groups/412536726345011 
Please add any additional information here (if applicable)::
It's my policy that a Letter of Recommendation will be provided at the end of the UROP term when the student researcher  has worked at least six (6) months.
