The AmericaView Program is pleased to announce the availability of several student research opportunities during the summer of 2006.

The AmericaView Summer intern program, conducted in collaboration with U.S. Geological Survey Center for Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) and South Dakota State University's (SDSU) Geographic Information Science Center of Excellence (GIScCE), is designed to help graduate and advanced undergraduate students learn how to apply satellite remote sensing imagery and related geospatial technologies to applied research, and in so doing to encourage the student's progress in their chosen degree program.

Students will receive salary and benefits, project-related travel support, and have unique access to EROS and Center of Excellence scientists and facilities, and have the opportunity to participate in a scientific investigation of key importance to understanding global change.

There are 3 projects comprising 8 intern positions: Two projects are located at EROS, with one student intern position each; one project is located at the Center of Excellence, with 6 student intern opportunities.

The projects are 10 weeks in duration and will be conducted June 5 to August 11.

Eligibility is limited to graduate students or advanced undergraduates (juniors or seniors) in good standing who are enrolled in a degree program at a university that is participating in an AmericaView member consortium.

Program details and application materials are attached, and may also be obtained online at: http://www.americaview.org or http://americaview.usgs.gov
