[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD in Hydrology/Geomorphology

[Sujith Ravi]

*Fully funded PhD position in Hydrology/Geomorphology:*

We have a graduate student opening (PhD) for studying soil moisture
dynamics and aeolian sediment transport in saline/sodic agricultural soils.
We (with collaborators from UC Berkeley and USDA) will investigate
fundamental soil hydrological and geomorphic processes involved in soil
salinization and provide a new mechanistic framework for their explanation.
Salinity-affected agricultural systems — a serious threat to global food
security — are distributed throughout the world and a quantitative
assessment of soil salinity-soil erosion nexus is therefore critically
important in understanding feedbacks to climate, air quality, and soil
degradation.
