The positions are full-time (40 hours/week) for 10-12 weeks (start and end times are adjustable for different summer break schedules).

1) Marine Chart Division - Chart Adequacy (Silver Spring) - The selected applicant will perform various geographic information systems (GIS) analysis tasks and compile lidar bathymetric data sets to generate coverage maps, intersect source layer data in order to generate adequacy maps, generate bathymetric coverage maps, and process vessel traffic data (Autonomous Identification Systems).
2) Integrated Ocean and Coastal Mapping - Crowd-sourced Bathymetry (Silver Spring) - The selected applicant will support Coast Survey's interdisciplinary program for coordinated ocean and coastal mapping. He or she will be responsible for aggregating the best available crowd-sourced bathymetric data for areas of interest.
