Doctoral Project Description
Project Number: NRMRL-10-004
Division: Sustainable Technology Division (STD)
Branch: Sustainable Environments Branch (SEB)
Location: Cincinnati, OH
Project Title: Computational Hydrology for Sustainable Watershed
Management
Brief Description of The sustainability program within the National Risk
Management Research Laboratory (NRMRL) studies management
Research Project: of watershed processes from an interdisciplinary
perspective. We utilize incentive programs that are based on
theories of sociology, law, governance, and economics.
These incentive programs are informed by ecological and
hydrologic processes to yield comprehensive management of
pervasive environmental stressors, such as
storm-water. Through field-based investigations, we
monitor for the effectiveness of these environmental
management actions. The analysis of these hydrometric
assessments forms the basis for this postdoctoral
research opportunity.
Major Research Hydrology, meteorology, soil science, statistics.
Areas:
Educational Ph.D. in hydrology; water resources management; civil,
environmental, agricultural engineering; environmental
Requirements: science or a related field.
Specialized Training Experience with implementation of hydrologic models
(including but not limited to: SWMM, GSSHA, SWAT, etc.)
and/or Experience and GIS (including but not limited to: ArcGIS, etc.);
skills and abilities in organization and management of
Preferred: large hydrometric datasets via scripting languages;
various statistical approaches and techniques in
characterizing spatial and temporal variability in
hydrometric data.
