The US Geological Survey is offering a funding opportunity through the Cooperative Ecosystem Studies Unit, Great Lakes Northern Forests CESU, to develop mapping methods for dreissenid mussels and other species in high resolution. The grant aims to improve monitoring and research by advising on data collection techniques, testing analytical models for abundance prediction, classifying bottom substrates, and developing software for mussel recognition in underwater images. The ideal cooperator should possess a high level of expertise in these areas. Application deadline is Jul 26, 2019.
