We are looking for someone with research interests in one or more areas related to change detection of the earth's surface and environmental processes. Techniques and data might include terrestrial, airborne, or satellite LiDAR, radar altimetry, GNSS, gravity, optically sensed image coregistration, InSAR, or other methods. We strongly encourage applicants who have expertise in cryospheric processes, natural hazards, tectonics, geomorphology, or hydrology to apply. Potential collaborations in CIRES, on campus, and from the larger Boulder community include the Earth Science and Observation Center (ESOC; cires.colorado.edu/esoc), the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC; nsidc.org), Earth Lab (earthlab.colorado.edu) and the Climate Innovation Collaboratory (CIL; https://earthlab.colorado.edu), Western Water Assessment (wwa.colorado.edu), UNAVCO/EarthScope, UCAR/NCAR, and NOAA.
