[ES_JOBS_NET] USGS Mendenhall Postdoc opportunity: geomorphology and ecosystem restoration on the upper Mississippi River; La Crosse, Wisconsin

[Houser, Jeff N]

We are searching for a USGS Mendenhall postdoc to link fluvial processes to ecosystem health and restoration across the biologically and geomorphically diverse - yet heavily managed - upper Mississippi River system.

Description
The hydrogeomorphology of a coupled river-floodplain system affects the distribution and abundance of riverine habitats. We seek a Mendenhall to synthesize topographic, bathymetric, and land-cover data sets; collect and analyze additional data to understand the changing geomorphology of the Upper Mississippi and Illinois rivers; and evaluate implications of these changes for habitat restoration.
