Geology Middlebury Professor Internship at Lake Champlain (Tom Manley-  tmanley@middlebury.edu)

• I'm putting out a blanket call to anybody who would might be interested in being a summer intern at Middlebury College. This would evolve around is the large Vermont EPSCoR program. You would be out on Lake Champlain for approximately four weeks with another three interns. Everything would be staged out of Burton island state Park where the RV Folger would be docked. All summer interns would have one large cabin to share. Work would be related to recovery and redeployment of hydrodynamic instrumentation (that have been sitting in the Lake for over year), a large sediment sampling program of the Inland Sea and continued high resolution bottom mapping of that region. After the field program, we would all come back to Middlebury College for the processing and analysis of the data with each intern having their own specific topic. If you believe you might be interested, please drop me an email.
