Student Internship at the U.S. Geological Survey
Graphical Interface Programmer
For Landslide/Debris-Flow Models
We seek a student, skilled in modern graphical programming, to help develop a
modular graphical user interface for USGS landslide and debris-flow models. The
USGS has developed state-of-the-art, physics-based research models for analyzing
landslide initiation, motion, and deposition, all in the context of 3-D earth-surface
topography. We envision development of a modular graphical user interface to
integrate these models and make them readily available to diverse users, including
university researchers, geotechnical consultants, and other government scientists.
We would like to hire a student programmer to work on components of this interface
system.
Interested students should contact Mark Reid at mreid@usgs.gov; (650) 329-4891
(Menlo Park, CA) or Richard Iverson at riverson@usgs.gov; (360) 993-8920
(Vancouver, WA) by March 10, 2008 with resume and availability.
Our models include a geotechnically based 3-D slope-stability model for assessing
landslide initiation and a 3-D debris-flow and debris-avalanche model for assessing
runout dynamics and down-valley inundation. The initiation model can provide output
that is used as input for the runout-dynamics model. Input and output is through a
series of ASCII text and grid files. Interface programming efforts will involve
development of components aimed at linking the capabilities of these models and
making them easy to use. This development includes design of an overall system
architecture to accommodate the requirements of the two models, creation of frontend
applications to supply basic information to the models, design of tools for
coupling the two models, and development of wrappers to transfer 2-D and 3-D input
and output data to appropriate visualization tools. We envision that the graphical
user interface applications will be written in a modern, well-supported object-oriented
language, preferably a platform-independent language such as Java or Python.
Hourly salary is based on education level and previous experience. The work is
modular and could be accomplished on a part-time basis during the school year with
more continuous work during school break periods. This internship would be with the
U.S. Government; therefore strong preference is given to U.S. citizens or nationals.
The position will be based at either the USGS center in Menlo Park, CA or the USGS
Cascades Volcano Observatory in Vancouver, WA, although students may be able to
perform much of the work off-site.
