Groundwater Chemistry and Hydrology Traineeship Program

GER-9354925马里兰大学-学院帕克海兹摘要马里兰大学帕克学院提议设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，这一领域的一支非常有才华的教师队伍由几个部门独立运作。直到最近才开始对其活动进行部门间协调。这一培训计划将成为促进这些科学家和工程师进一步组织成一个全国可见的小组的催化剂。马里兰州可以为研究生提供使用最先进的分析方法(E.D.AMS、EXAFS、TIMS、INAA)对地下水问题的研究。该州的地下水环境异乎寻常地多样化，校园近在咫尺，存在各种问题。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，但该领域的博士培养近20年来并没有增加。1991年NRC的一项研究强调了在这一领域开展多学科教育的必要性，这项建议特别针对这一概念。基础科学和工程研究的结合是该计划的目标之一。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.
