Position Description
Students will be developing a web and phone application ("app") that the public can use to report non-native and/or invasive plants on OSU's Research Forests (specifically, the McDonald-Dunn Research Forests). About 10 hours per week. A small stipend can be provided.
Project Description
A student with phone app development skills is sought to develop a user-friendly app that recreators or community members can download and use to report occurrences of non-native/invasive plants on the McDonald-Dunn Research Forests. The information gathered through the app from the public will be used to understand patterns of invasion by invasive plants, and also to inform efforts to control and eliminate invasive plants. A user-friendly photo guide to common non-native plants will be part of the app; student is not expected to have botanical knowledge!
