Tenure track Position in Hydrology/Surface Processes

University of Colorado-Boulder, tenure-track position in physical geography. The Department of Geography and Institute of Arctic and Alpine Research (INSTAAR) invite applications for a tenure-track position in hydrology and Earth surface processes. Applicants are expected to have cross-cutting skills in surface-water hydrology and geomorphology, plus research interests and experience in mountain areas or cold regions. The successful candidate is expected to teach undergraduate courses in hydrology and Earth surface processes, as well as specialized graduate-level courses in his/her area of expertise. This position will be filled at the assistant professor level, and a PhD is required at the time of appointment.

Hydrologic Sciences Student Symposium: April 11-12, 2008

Abstract Deadline Extended: April 3rd, 2008
The 3rd annual Hydrological Sciences Student Research Symposium is on Friday and Saturday 11-12 April at CU Boulder. The Symposium is open to all CU-Boulder students (grad & undergrad) and faculty working in any aspect of hydrologic sciences, including those doing interdisciplinary research. Submitting a poster or talk that you have already presented at another conference is fine, as long as it does not violate an agreement you made with the other conference. Keynote speakers include Jay Lund of the U. of Calif, Davis.

See the Symposium page for more information.

Modeling and Predicting Three Asian Monsoon Systems

Prof. Thomas N Chase, CIRES, University of Colorado, Boulder Colorado. 11:00am ECCE1B41

Hydrology, Water Resources, and Environmental Fluid Mechanics Seminar Series

Monsoons are hydro-climatological circulations of enormous importance to regional water supplies and agriculture and also to the global circulation of the atmosphere and therefore global precipitation patterns. I compare the effects of landcover change and land surface hydrology on summer monsoonal circulation in three distinct Asian monsoon regions, India, Northeast Asia and Southeast Asia from general circulation modeling experiments and in statistical prediction models based on observations

We find that the correct land surface hydrology is vital to simulating regional monsoons as well as the global climate nad can have impacts on global surface temperature of similar magnitude to that observed over the past century. Additionally, statistical prediction of east Asian monsoon rainfall is greatly improved by including vegetation conditions (a function of previous rainfall as well as other factors) in the prediction model.

Fall Certificate Course offerings

Two courses have been added to the list of those being offered next fall which will count toward requirements for the Hydrologic Sciences Certificate. GEOL 5700 "Advanced Geomorphology" can count as an additional required course or as a course to address the requirement for the Fluvial Geomorphology topical area, but not both. (Two sections are being offered.) The Water Conservation course can count under the "Advanced Hydrology" topical area.

GEOL5700/001TPC-WATER CONSERVATION 3.0 SMALL, ERIC 84227 R 1:00 PM - 3:30 PM

GEOL5700/011TPC-ADVNCD GEOMORPHOLOGY 4.0 ANDERSON, ROBERT S84098 MW 9:00 AM - 10:00 AM

GEOL5700/011TPC-ADVNCD GEOMORPHOLOGY 4.0 ANDERSON, ROBERT S84098 W 1:00 PM - 3:00 PM

Other fall courses are listed on the Courses page.

Spring Break!

Spring break for the University of Colorado at Boulder is March 26-30. Regular classes and activities resume April 2, 2007.

Arkansas River Drainage Evolution: Friday 3/23 3:30 PM

Eric Leonard, Colorado College, Chair Department of Geology. "The late Cenozoic of the Arkansas River in Colorado: drainage evolution, rock uplift, and erosion" GUGG 205

Geography Colloquium Keynote: Friday 3/16 3:30 pm

Measuring and Mapping Glaciers: Friday 3/16 4 pm

Professor Prasad Gogineni of the Center for Remote Sensing of Ice Sheets (CReSIS) at the University of Kansas will present a Distinguished Lecture entitled "Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging of Ice-bed Interface and Radar Sounding of Fast-Flowing Glaciers." He will discuss the development of radars that measure ice thickness and map internal layers simultaneously from both surface-based and airborne platforms. The lecture will be held in the CIRES Auditorium at 4 pm Friday, March 16. Additional information:

Hydrologic Sciences Student Symposium: March 16-17, 2007.

The second annual Hydrological Sciences Student Research Symposium is this weekend (March 16-17, 2007) at CU Boulder. A tentative schedule is now available on the Symposium page. Friday's keynote address is by Don Siegel of Syracuse University. On Saturday, the keynote speaker is Jeff McDonnell of Oregon State University. Anyone interested in hydrologic science is invited to attend the free talks and poster session.

Hydrologic Sciences Certificate Meeting

Informational Meeting about the Graduate Certificate Program in Hydrologic Sciences and Pizza on Friday, October 13, 2006 in the Engineering Center. Meet in the courtyard adjacent to the CVEN wing at 4:15 pm. Pizza at 4:30 pm followed by a meeting in Room 1B41 at 5:15pm.

Environmental Studies Seminar Series

Friday, October 6 4:00 pm in CIRES S274. Professor Michael Zimmerman will present a talk entitled: "Integral Ecology - How the Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences can work together on Environmental Issues at CU and Beyond." Michael Zimmerman is Professor of Philosophy and Director of the Center for Humanities and the Arts at CU Boulder.

Hydrologic Sciences Student Symposium

The first annual Student Research Symposium is scheduled for April 7-8, 2006 at the Benson Earth Sciences building at CU Boulder. Abstracts are being accepted from graduate as well as undergraduate students with research interests involving any aspect of hydrologic sciences; interdisciplinary entries are particularly encouraged. There will be a limited number of slots for 10 minute talks available on a first-come, first-served basis. There is also an unlimited number of spaces for poster presentations. This conference will feature two keynote speakers who are leading scientists in the field. Registration is free for all participants! Please contact Nate Bradley (nate.bradley@colorado.edu) or David Bedford (david.bedford@colorado.edu) regarding submitting an abstract. The deadline has been extended to Wednesday March 22nd, 2006. See the Symposium page for more information

Fluid Mechanics Prerequisite

For those students still lacking the Theoretical Fluid Mechanics prerequisite, the course will be offered in the Summer session, and perhaps another section will open in Spring 2006.

Option B Admissions Application deadline

Those students who are currently enrolled in a graduate program at CU Boulder and who wish do apply to the Hydrologic Sciences Graduate Program are encouraged to submit their letter of intent to Corlin Ambler, the Graduate Program Assistant, by Monday, December 5, 2005. Please see the Admssions information for details about the content of the letter and required supporting documents.

Graduate Student input needed

Students interested in joining the graduate student steering committee for the program should contact Laurel Larsen Laurel.Griggs@colorado.edu for more information.

Informational meeting for students and faculty

4 pm 11 November 2005, Benson Earth Sciences Rm 380
Learn about the Hydrologic Sciences program while meeting fellow students and faculty. Participate in planning for a Graduate Symposium to be held this coming spring.
