The project entails destructively measuring canopy fuels in a variety of forest types throughout the western United States. Alternative indirect measurements will also be used. We will be hiring a crew of up to 4 people to conduct the field portion of the study during the summer of 2001. Travel up to 4 weeks at a time will be required. We will work long days when in the field.
Overtime is likely.
Field accomodations will vary from camping to bunkhouse to shared motel rooms. We will be a small crew working and living closely for long periods. We will be sorting tree branches into size classes, so expect long hours of repetitive lab work. We will provide specialized training as needed, but previous experience is helpful.
