Research Experiences for Undergraduates: Earth Sciences: Hydrology/Hydrogeology at the University of Nevada, Reno

水文学和水文地质学学科的深远意义以及对训练有素的专业人员的相关需求是相当明显的。在干旱易发地区，如美国西部半干旱地区，这一重要性更加突出。内华达大学雷诺分校(UNR)的水文学/水文地质学(H/H)项目是全国公认的优秀项目，拥有24名教职员工和70多名研究生。UNR的暑期项目非常成功，特别是因为这是我们的第一次努力。我们正在申请资金，以继续在水文学和水文地质学方面的UNR夏季REU计划。我们试图在过去成功的基础上再接再厉，同时解决已注意到的几个缺点。我们的教职员工对再次与一群优秀的本科生一起工作的前景感到非常兴奋。

The profound significance regarding the disciplines of hydrology and hydrogeology, as well as the associated need for well trained professionals, is quite evident. This significance is accentuated in drought prone areas like the semi-arid western portion of the United States. The Hydrology/Hydrogeology (H/H) Program at the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) is nationally recognized for excellence, with 24 faculty members and over 70 graduate students. The UNR summer program was extremely successful, especially since this was our first effort. We are requesting funding to continue the UNR summer REU program in hydrology and hydrogeology. We have attempted to build upon our past successes while addressing the few noted shortcomings. Our faculty are quite excited about the prospects of once again working with a group of exceptional undergraduate students.
