Groundwater Chemistry and Hydrology Traineeship Program

格尔-9354925马里兰大学帕克海兹分校 摘要 马里兰州大学帕克分校建议建立一个新的地下水化学和水文学研究生实习计划。 在过去的十年里，这一领域的一个非常有才华的教师队伍由几个部门组成，独立行事。直到最近才开始对它们的活动进行部门间协调。 这一培训方案将促进进一步将这些科学家和工程师组织成一个全国可见的群体。 马里兰州可以为研究生提供特殊的机会，使用国家的最先进的分析方法（e.d. AMS，EXAFS，TIMS，INAA）在地下水问题的研究。 国家提出了一个不寻常的地下水环境的多样性和校园内容易到达的问题。 虽然地下水水文学/水文地质学是地球科学中毕业生招聘增长最快的领域，但近二十年来，这一领域的博士生数量并没有增加。 挪威难民理事会1991年的一项研究强调了在这一领域开展多学科教育的必要性，本提案具体涉及这一概念。 基础科学与工程研究的整合是该计划的目标。 该计划将由马里兰州水资源研究中心管理。

GER-9354925 University of Maryland-College Park Heiz ABSTRACT The University of Maryland at College Park proposes to establish a new graduate traineeship program in Ground Water Chemistry and Hydrology. A very talented faculty in this field has been assembled over the past decade by several departments, acting independently. Interdepartmental coordination of their activities did not begin until recently. this traineeship program will be the catalyst for promoting the further organization of these scientists and engineers into a nationally visible group. Maryland can offer graduate students special opportunities to use state-of-the-art analytical methods (e.d. AMS, EXAFS, TIMS, INAA) in their study of ground water problems. The State presents an unusual diversity of ground water environments and problems within easy reach of the campus. Although ground water hydrology/hydrogeology is the fastest growing area of graduate hiring in the earth sciences, the production of PhDs in this field has not increased in nearly two decades. A 1991 NRC study has stressed the need for multidisciplinary education in this field, a concept which this proposal addresses specifically. Integration of fundamental science and engineering research is a goal of the program. The program will be managed by the Maryland Water Resources Research Center.
