Groundwater Chemistry and Hydrology Traineeship Program

摘要马里兰大学帕克分校提议建立一个新的地下水化学和水文学研究生实习项目。在过去的十年里，几个独立运作的部门在这个领域聚集了一支非常有才华的教师队伍。其活动的部门间协调直到最近才开始。这个实习项目将成为促进这些科学家和工程师进一步组织成为一个全国性的可见群体的催化剂。马里兰大学可以为研究生提供特殊的机会，使用最先进的分析方法（如AMS， EXAFS， TIMS， INAA）来研究地下水问题。该州呈现出不同寻常的地下水环境多样性和校园近在咫尺的问题。虽然地下水水文学/水文地质学是地球科学毕业生招聘增长最快的领域，但这一领域的博士人数近20年来并没有增加。1991年核研究委员会的一项研究强调了在这一领域开展多学科教育的必要性，这一建议特别涉及这一概念。基础科学与工程研究的结合是该项目的目标。该项目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.
