ATTN: Current GIS Students & Recent Graduates:
If you or someone you know would be interested in early consideration for a USGS 2021 Student Intern position, please read the information, below. What is the GICSI/USGS Cooperative Summer Field Training Program? The GISCI/USGS collaboration seeks to bring students trained in GIS to USGS for internship opportunities. It is additive to our longstanding NAGT program. Now in its fifth decade, the National Association of Geoscience Teachers (NAGT)/U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Cooperative Summer Field Training Program is the longest continuously running internship program in the earth sciences. Over the past fifty-one years, more than 2,400 students have participated in this program with an impressive number of these individuals becoming full-time employees of the USGS. The applications for the 2021 USGS GIS Summer Intern Program are now open. The fact that you have begun to work toward a future GISP Certification can now be used for early consideration toward applying for a USGS Internship, possibly leading to a USGS invitation to apply. This will be an opt-in program, only, meaning that you are required to give GISCI permission to forward your name to the USGS for further consideration. This is not a guarantee of an invitation to apply to the program, participation in this program will not obligate you to apply for any position, and your presence or absence now will not affect your later ability to apply for any 2020 Intern positions when announced! To be qualified for this early consideration, a student must:
https://www.gisci.org/Students/Internships.aspx To be considered for this program, you must 'opt-in': Please send an email to me at [email protected] and add to the Subject Line - "Your Name - USGS GIS Summer Intern Program 2021". Please provide your complete contact info, graduation date, and college/university. Do not respond directly to the USGS! Deadline for response: Emails received after October 5, 2020 will not be considered for this early screening program. We plan to provide a list of interested student candidates to the USGS in early October, which they will review and notify selected parties later this year, with an invitation to apply when the positions and process are complete. This would be an invitation to apply to the USGS, not an offer of an Internship position! If you know of a student who might be qualified and interested in participating in this early screening program, please advise them to register with GISCI and respond to me, as per the above. Further information regarding the USGS Internship program, in general, can be found on their web site under the USGS/DOI internship Program description. https://www.usgs.gov/science-support/osqi/youth-education-science/gis-summer-intern-program If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Bill Hodge, GISCI Executive Director, at [email protected] or (847) 824-7768.

The National Alliance for Public Safety GIS (https://www.napsgfoundation.org/) has requested GISCorps volunteer support to geolocate crowdsourced photos for situational awareness to support the response to Hurricanes Marco and Laura which will be impacting the Gulf Coast through the week.
Volunteers on this mission will geolocate photos sourced from Twitter, Facebook, news stories, etc. by examining images and text for location clues. Using Google satellite images and Street View imagery, the volunteers will pinpoint locations as precisely as possible. Once the location is identified, volunteers will upload the photo using a Survey123 form. Each uploaded photo will be vetted by our admin team and displayed on apps that provide essential situational awareness to federal, state, and local emergency managers and first responders. For hurricanes, we are generally looking for photos related to preparedness, shortages, evacuations, damage, flooding, and ultimately recovery operations. Please do not post any pictures that contain identifiable images of people's faces or text containing people's names. More instructions and FAQs can be found in the Volunteer Portal. All of the instructions and information you need is contained in our new Experience Builder application and should be fairly self-explanatory. Everyone who joins the project via the Google form below will receive daily email updates and will be added to our dedicated Slack channel for questions and answers. (We will add you to our Slack workspace as soon as we can. It may take a few hours depending on the time of day.) Slack is the best place to ask questions to get a quick response. If you'd like to contribute to this project, please fill out this very brief Google form: https://forms.gle/C8yhUF8GVvT7TeoC7 Everything else you need is embedded on this Volunteer Portal: https://arcg.is/KDjPO. Please read the Important Information on the first page and the FAQ page. If there are photos in the Photo Queue, please work on mapping those before you start searching for photos on your own. Past Project summaries can be seen here: https://www.giscorps.org/napsg-crowdsource-photos/ A comprehensive look at all the data and apps can be found on the Hub page: https://2020-crowdsourced-disaster-photos-napsg.hub.arcgis.com/ At the conclusion of the mission, we'll ask you to fill out one more Google form to report your hours and provide feedback. We'll then send you a GISCorps certificate of appreciation and a letter documenting your contribution for GISP credit. We look forward to working with you and thank you in advance for your efforts in this important mission. This mission will likely run for approximately 5 days depending on how the storms develop.
