About this position
This appointment is hosted by the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s Coastal & Hydraulics Laboratory (CHL), a multidisciplinary research environment focused on ocean, estuarine, riverine, and watershed systems in support of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Department of Defense.
The project centers on optimizing the Corps Shoaling Analysis Tool (CSAT), a geospatial application that uses a large archive of hydrographic surveys to quantify sediment accumulation across the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ navigation channel portfolio. The work is aimed at improving tools and workflows used to identify areas with high dredging needs and to forecast future sediment volumes, supporting more efficient use of dredging resources.
Under mentor guidance, the participant will work alongside ERDC-CHL researchers on front-end and back-end geospatial tool development and optimization. The research experience includes geospatial data analysis, time-series forecasting, interactive data visualization, verification and validation case preparation, documentation, and graphical user interface development and testing.
The laboratory environment is described as unique and internationally known, with scientists, engineers, and support personnel developing experimental and computational models for water resource problems worldwide. The appointment offers a chance to contribute to an applied federal research program focused on sediment shoaling analysis, geospatial data processing, and research documentation standards.
