The ocean is critical to human and planetary health —but ocean health is in rapid and accelerating decline. We believe that we have the responsibility —and ability —to act.
Running Tide is a global ocean health company. Our fast-growing, multidisciplinary teams of world-class scientists, engineers, and maritime operators, design and implement interventions that rebalance Earth’s carbon cycle, decarbonize global supply chains, restore marine ecosystems, and revitalize coastal communities. Our corporate operations, business development, communications, and policy teams support Running Tide’s front-line workers in scaling our interventions to tackle humanity’s most urgent challenges: restoring ocean health and combating climate change.
In this position you will work closely with the coastal restoration group on Running Tide's commercial team. Your main responsibility will be to lead geospatial analysis and development of GIS-based products to frame site suitability information for each coastal intervention type in the Running Tide portfolio. You will use a range of publicly available spatial datasets for northeast US coastal waters such as temperature and nutrient climatologies, benthic substrate types, water quality parameters from remote sensing, fisheries resource management, bathymetric depths, tidal ranges, wave conditions, and vessel traffic statistics. You will complete case studies focused on two geographic regions: the Peconic Bays at the eastern end of Long Island in New York, and an offshore wind development lease area (to be determined) with the areas affected by its planned cable runs leading to shore.
Other responsibilities will include assisting with improvements to the data management and visualization tools for our water quality time series observation datasets from our proprietary coastal moorings, and image-based data collection tasks in support of our ongoing shellfish operations. Products of your work will help our organization make strategic decisions related to planning and scalability of our coastal interventions.
This is intended to be a full-time, 24-week internship with an expected start date of July 10, 2023 and end date of Dec 15, 2023. There is some flexibility with those dates.
Responsibilities:
- Manage and analyze spatial data relevant to coastal interventions, including environmental, fisheries, and resource management factors.
- Use GIS tools to visualize and interpret complex geospatial data, creating understandable maps and reports for decision-makers.
- Help devise and implement improvements to our systems for managing and visualizing water quality time series observation datasets.
- Carry out image-based data collection tasks in support of our ongoing shellfish operations
Our teams operate with utmost persistence. We are tackling the world’s most difficult and important problems, and we are unwavering in our motivation to find a solution. At our core, we are innovators driven to do "more good" rather than "less bad" in the world.
Running Tide is committed to building a diverse team, bringing as many possible perspectives to bear on the unprecedented challenges facing our planet. We are committed to building an inclusive environment where people of all backgrounds can come to do their best work.
All offers of employment at Running Tide are contingent upon clear results of a thorough background check.
