GCE-LTER Summer Internship Opportunity Come Study the Georgia Coast! The Georgia Coastal Ecosystems (GCE) LTER is an NSF-supported research project focused on the central Georgia coast. The marshes and estuaries in this area are affected by changes in both fresh water (from land and precipitation) and salt water (from the ocean.) Over the coming decades we anticipate that changes in climate and human activities will affect these ecosystems through changes in river inflow, sea level rise, and changes in land use. Field work for the GCE project is based at the University of Georgia Marine Institute on Sapelo Island, which has housing and laboratory space. Opportunities are available for LSAMP students to work with researchers either in their laboratories at UGA, or over the summer at Sapelo Island. If you are interested in a summer internship, please visit our website (http://gce-lter.marsci.uga.edu/public/employment/summer_internships.asp) to view current opportunities and complete the application. Please contact Adam Sapp (asapp@uga.edu) with any questions regarding summer internships. The deadline for application is March 28, 2014.
