The USGS' Center for Coastal and Regional Marine Studies in St. Petersburg, FL, recently welcomed two new student interns who are working there this summer.
 |

Keyla Marin
|
Keyla Marin comes from the University of Puerto Rico at MayagŸez, where she is a student in a 5-year program in electrical engineering and a participant in the Partnership for Spatial and Computer Research, sponsored by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA). She will also graduate with a certificate in remote sensing and geographic information systems (GIS).
Keyla's prior professional experience includes a summer working for the USGS as a hydrologic technician in Austin, TX. This summer, she is working with John Brock and Tonya Clayton in St. Petersburg, FL, preparing time-series animations of Chesapeake Bay satellite imagery and compiling ancillary data. Keyla enjoys travel and, as a serious museum buff, is delighted to be working less than a block from the world-famous Salvador Dali Museum!

Lance Mosher

 |
Lance Mosher is a summer intern from Eckerd College in St. Petersburg, FL, where he has just completed his freshman year as a double major in physics and geophysics. His recreational interests include skiing, movie-watching, and playing: playing guitar, playing pool, and playing Frisbee among the fire ants. His previous professional experience includes work at Eckerd College's Wallace Boathouse plus a summer as (in his words) chief "copy monkey."
This summer, Lance is working with Tonya Clayton and John Brock, processing lidar data collected in national seashores and pitching in as a jack-of-all-trades wherever needed. (Both Keyla and Lance promise not to ask for too much time in front of the copy machine!)
