Overall Research Project Description A motivated and organized student would assist a PhD student in Geography conducting ecological and geospatial research. The research explores the application of remote sensing to analyze geographic patterns of mangroves and oysters in the Apalachicola Bay region. The position will require the use of various software including R, ArcGIS Pro, ArcGIS Online, and Agisoft Metashape to process and analyze geospatial data. The student could expect academic mentorship, development of GIS skills, and optional opportunities to assist with fieldwork in the remote wetlands in the Apalachicola Bay region, which would require own transportation to the FSU Coastal and Marine Laboratory.

Research Tasks • Use Desktop ESRI apps (ArcGIS Pro and ArcGIS Online) to create, edit and maintain vector and raster GIS data in various formats (i.e., file geodatabase, Portal, shapefile)
• Prepare or complete thematic maps, presentation materials, or other documents
• Create, update, and maintain ArcGIS Online/Portal platform applications including Field Maps
• Perform quality control and create metadata for final GIS products
• Use photogrammetric software (Agisoft Metashape) to create geospatial products
• Optional opportunities to assist with field data collection and verification in the Apalachicola Bay region
• Use R statistical software to run analysis

Skills that research assistant(s) may need: • FSU student in Geography, GIS, or related field
• Knowledge of GIS concepts and analytical techniques, preferred but not required
• Strong computer proficiency
• Ability to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines
• Ability to plan, organize, and execute GIS-related tasks efficiently and effectively
• Ability to communicate and work collaboratively and effectively
• Proficiency with the Microsoft 365 Suite (Word, Excel, Powerpoint)
• Strong oral and written skills

Mentoring Philosophy My mentoring philosophy revolves around developing a relationship founded on mutual respect with the understanding of the mentees' goals, both short-term and long-term, while fostering growth through action, experience, and challenges.

Please provide a link to your publications, a video clip, or a website for your research project (if applicable): {Empty}

Please add any additional information here (if applicable): The position is on main campus with optional fieldwork available in the Apalachicola Bay region. The student will need to meet at the CML marine lab if interested in fieldwork.
