Description: We are recruiting 5 graduate or undergraduate students for an NSF International Research Experiences for Students project to study connections between groundwater recharge, stream flow, and water-resources management in Morocco. The program includes (dates tentative):
• Virtual training in techniques in hydrology, remote sensing, GIS, and hydrologic modeling (online, mid March–end of April)
• Virtual technical and cultural training workshop (online, mid May)
• 4-week field project with U.S. and Moroccan researchers in Morocco (mid May–mid June)
• Virtual training in professional practice and scientific communication (online, September–mid December)
Travel expenses will be covered and a $3,000 stipend will be paid.
Ideal applicants will have a background in geology or a related discipline. Previous coursework and research experience in hydrology, hydrogeology, remote sensing, or GIS are helpful. Ability to work in teams and openness to different cultures are advantages. Members of underrepresented groups are particularly encouraged to apply.
Participants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents and enrolled in a U.S. undergraduate or graduate program through December.
