________________________________

Overview: Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument (FLFO) is home to some of the richest fossil deposits in the world. FLFO is located about 35 miles west of Colorado Springs and encompasses more than 6,000 acres at an elevation of 8,400 ft. Accurate, well-documented spatial management of geologic data is especially important at FLFO due to the dynamic nature of resource protection, ongoing research involving fossil collecting, and integration of these data into an interpretive mobile application. The goal of this internship is to provide operational support for development of efficient and accurate geospatial data collection thus improving the stewardship of sensitive geological resources.

Position Responsibilities:

·       The goal of this internship is to collect geologic field data and update the GIS geology layer to provide operational support for development of accurate geospatial data for resource protection, ongoing research, and integration into an interpretive mobile application. Resolution of geologic data will be improved by mapping appropriate geologic units and contacts, providing appropriate attributes and metadata, verifying the spatial accuracy of existing data, collecting new data, and updating existing features using base maps, GIS, and/or imagery as needed. This will include mapping appropriate geologic units and contacts at identified locations and testing spatial accuracy of data collection methods using highly accurate GNSS receivers. Sensitive paleontological resource data at some locations will require the intern to use secure data management practices. The intern will utilize the data collected in the field to update the resolution of geologic units in GIS.

Qualifications:

·       The candidate should have a strong background in geology and geologic field methods. They should also possess a foundation in GIS fundamentals and experience with ESRI ArcGIS software and extensions. Applicants should have practical knowledge of geodatabase design and an understanding of geographic coordinate systems, projections, and transformations. Familiarity with GNSS data collection, web map creation, and mobile GIS applications preferred. The position requires good communication skills, attention to detail, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively. Most of the work will occur in the field. Field data collection activities will involve back-country hiking in rugged, high-elevation terrain and extreme temperatures. No housing or transportation is provided by the Monument.

·       Applicants must be a U.S. citizens or permanent legal residents. Applicants must also be enrolled at an institution of higher education or within two years post-graduation. Applicants who have obtained or are pursuing a GIS degree or certificate and/or with GIS work experience are preferred. Prior to starting this position, a federal government security background clearance will be required.
