Internship: Exploring Air Curtain Burners for Sustainable Forest Management
Looking for a summer internship focused on the use of newer and cleaner technologies for forest management? Join our innovative project to explore the use of Air Curtain Burners (ACB) in the Long Island Pine Barrens.
ACB is a device that burns wood waste (logs, fallen trees, branches, standing dead or dying trees, twigs), trapping smoke particles from wood burning, reburning them and potentially reducing emissions of CO 2 and PM 2.5 while also producing useful biochar.
Biochar is a charcoal-like material that can be added to soil to improve nutrient content and water retention. It also stores carbon, representing one potential solution to climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Special Benefits
Partnering with the Central Pine Barrens Joint Planning and Policy Commission and SUNY ESF , this internship offers 28-40 hours per week of hands-on experience in field ecology and data collection including fuel loading assessments, tree regeneration studies, and air quality monitoring with focus on CO 2 and PM 2.5. Your work will contribute to research that informs sustainable forest management. Hours are negotiable.
