Project Description<br>
<br>
We are currently researching how dynamic connections and interactions within<br>
watershed-scale wetland systems influence the downstream integrity and<br>
resilience of streams, lakes, and coastal waters in the United States. A key<br>
component of this research is the development and validation of modeling<br>
approaches and metrics for assessing wetland connectivity across multiple<br>
spatial and temporal scales. The research participant activities will<br>
involve conducting process-based and spatial modeling of watershed-scale<br>
wetland connectivity and the cumulative watershed hydrological and<br>
biogeochemical responses to variations in wetland connectivity. The goal of<br>
this project is to advance scientific understanding of the role of wetland<br>
hydrological (e.g., water storage) and biogeochemical (e.g., nutrient<br>
cycling) processes in maintaining watershed integrity and resilience.<br>
<br>
Qualifications<br>
<br>
Applicants must have received a doctoral degree in environmental<br>
engineering, geography, hydrology, environmental science, or a related field<br>
within five years of the desired starting date or completion of all<br>
requirements for the degree should be expected prior to the starting date. A<br>
strong background in watershed hydrology and biogeochemistry, watershed<br>
modeling (e.g., SWAT, HydroGeoSphere), and GIS and/or remote sensing is<br>
desirable. Strong mathematical skills and experience with one or more<br>
coding/scripting languages (preferably R, Python, Fortran, and/or Matlab)<br>
will also enhance the research experience. Experience with a collaborative<br>
research team is a plus.<br>

Project Description<br>
<br>
We are currently researching modeling methods for scaling localized Green<br>
Infrastructure (GI) practices to multiple watershed drainage areas. Key<br>
components of this research are to quantify (1) the advantages and gaps in<br>
diverse models that represent different hydrological and biogeochemical<br>
processes involved with GI practices and (2) the cumulative impacts of<br>
localized GI implementation on downstream hydrology and water quality. The<br>
activities for this project will involve conducting process-based<br>
watershed-scale modeling to assess the multi-scale watershed hydrological<br>
and biogeochemical responses to variations in GI implementation.<br>
