He/she will take the lead in analysis and interpretation of multiple existing sets of hyperspectral and LiDAR dataset for the highly instrumented Sagehen Creek watershed in the Sierra Nevada (<a href="http://sagehen.ucnrs.org" class="">http://sagehen.ucnrs.org</a>). Ground-based measurements include soil moisture, water chemistry, snow properties, sap flow, and stream discharge, as well as information on the land-surface energy balance. The student will use this data to answer pressing questions in mountain hydrology developed with his/her faculty advisors.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="" style="font-family: 'Adobe Garamond Pro', serif;">Financial<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>support<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;"> </span>includes<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>a<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;"> </span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">monthly</span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;"> </span>stipend,<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;"> </span>travel<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>to<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>scientific<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;"> </span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">meetings,</span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>field<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>and<span class="" style="letter-spacing: 1.15pt;"> </span>laboratory<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.4pt;"> </span>analyses, partial<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.4pt;"> </span>tuition<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.4pt;"> </span>and<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>health<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.4pt;"> </span>insurance.<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;"> </span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">Applicants</span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>should<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.2pt;"> </span>have<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;"> </span>an<span class="" style="letter-spacing: 2.55pt;"> </span>undergraduate<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>or<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>graduate<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>degree<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>in<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">hydrologic science,</span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> ecohydrology</span>,<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> remote sensing, environmental engineering, </span>or<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>a<span class="" style="letter-spacing: 1.5pt;"> </span>related<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>field.<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>The<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>ideal<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>candidate<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">should</span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>have<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>a<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">strong</span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.25pt;"> </span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">quantitative</span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.05pt;">background</span><span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>and<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.35pt;"> </span>interest<span class="" style="letter-spacing: -0.3pt;"> </span>in<span class="" style="letter-spacing: 1.25pt;"> </span>hydrologic modelling and interpretation of remote sensing data.
