This grant from the Department of Defense supports a study on wetland-associated birds in Anchorage, Alaska, particularly on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER). Applicants will collaborate with Audubon Alaska to engage citizen scientists in monitoring SOCC in Anchorage parks and on JBER recreational lakes. Responsibilities include data compilation and analysis, supervising university students for surveys, and working with USFWS biologists on habitat modeling. The focus is on assessing bird abundance and migratory connectivity to contribute to conservation efforts. Closing date for applications is March 31, 2016.

| Description: | Funds are available to participate in a study of wetland-associated breeding landbirds and shorebirds of conservation concern (SOCC) in Anchorage, Alaska, including Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER). Applicants must be able to: 1) work with Audubon Alaska to recruit, train, and supervise citizen scientists to monitor wetlands in Anchorage parks and on JBER recreational lakes for use by SOCC; 2) compile and summarize SOCC survey data collected by citizen scientists on the use of JBER recreational lakes and other wetlands; 3) recruit, train, and supervise university students to participate in Anchorage and JBER SOCC surveys; 4) supervise students to compile JBER wetlands spatial data and work with USFWS biologists to develop spatial models of habitat use by SOCC, which will be compared to data from Anchorage wetlands; 5) accomplish and coordinate data analysis, report writing, and manuscript preparation on wetland bird habitat use, trends, and annual movements with USFWS and JBER biologists. |
