Changing Dynamics of Hydrological Systems in Urban Areas Response To Human Disturbance and Climate Change

Description

Greetings to aspiring scientists and engineers interested in urban hydrological issues. California State University, Los Angeles (Cal State LA) is hosting a 10-week summer NSF REU program that will enable new research and educational opportunities for students nationwide. We will encourage participants to compete for technical and policy-oriented positions in academia, government, and consulting industry and to provide optimal experience and encouragement for those continuing to graduate school. The specific objectives of this REU program are to:

  • Provide students with an enriching research and cultural experience under the guidance and mentorship of a core group of faculty with multi-disciplinary research expertise in urban hydrology.
  • Increase the number of students pursuing advanced degrees in water-related fields, such as hydrogeology, watershed analysis, and hydrologic modeling. Community college students are strongly encouraged to apply!
  • Increase the number of students, including underrepresented students and those that do not have access to research opportunities, providing exposure/training in research and opportunities for these students to pursue graduate degrees or employment.

Eligibility
