Provincial Permanent Sample Plot (PSP) data have been collected in the natural forests in BC since 1910s. Those data were recently migrated into a newly developed Oracle database named Inventory Sample Management Consolidation (ISMC). For that reason, a new PSP compiler is under development to summarize those data. The purpose of this job posting is to support the development of the new PSP compiler by integrating the height/DBH calculator from old PSP compiler (written in SAS) to the new ISMC compiler (written in R).

The candidate is expected to either rewrite the old height/DBH calculator in the R environment or build an interface in the R environment to call the old calculator.  This is a four-month co-op position!
