<span style="mso-no-proof:yes" class="ContentPasted0">This position will emphasize field- and laboratory-based studies studies evaluating habitat requirements of native mussels, biomechanics of larval fish transport, and environmental eDNA transport in rivers.
Field areas include streams of the Ozark Plateaus and large rivers of the Midwest (Missouri, Mississippi, Platte, Yellowstone). Laboratory-based studies will take place in a new racetrack style flume designed to provide quantifiable hydraulic conditions in
a lotic environment (</span><a href="https://www.usgs.gov/centers/columbia-environmental-research-center/science/cerc-eco-flume" id="OWA0c6ffc6e-e2d4-2602-db15-8c453bf7afeb" class="OWAAutoLink ContentPasted0"><span style="mso-no-proof:yes">https://www.usgs.gov/centers/columbia-environmental-research-center/science/cerc-eco-flume</span></a><span style="mso-no-proof:yes" class="ContentPasted0">).
Flume experiments will focus on transport phenomena in rivers and biophysical interactions between organisms (mussels, fish) and their hydraulic habitat.
