Position Description:
Death Valley Hydrology has an extensive monitoring network sprawled across the park’s 3.4 million acres, and along critical groundwater flowpaths to the park. The program also takes care of the park's air quality monitoring. Death Valley Hydrology has expanded its monitoring program to provide better spatial coverage, and to respond to increasing threats to water resources from climate change and groundwater pumping. Longer and more detailed records of measurements allow park managers to more conclusively and convincingly demonstrate causal relationships between system perturbations (e.g. decreased recharge and/or increased pumping) and responses observed at monitoring sites. This GeoCorps America position will assist the Death Valley NP Hydrology and Air Quality Programs at all levels: from measurements and data retrieval, to data analysis and report writing. Duties will also include GPS mapping of riparian areas that are expanding as a result of springs restoration efforts. The successful candidate will experience a field- and office-based introduction to park water and air resource management activities.. This position is offered through the NPS Geoscientists-in-the-Parks Program in partnership with The Geological Society of America’s GeoCorps America™ Program.
