GER-9554573 Simpson This proposal requests support for five (5) Graduate Traineeships in Hydrology, to be supervised in a collaborative effort by the Departments of Earth and Environmental Science at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute and Geological Sciences at Columbia University. Faculty from the Schools of Engineering at both RPI and CU would also participate as potential dissertation advisors. The strengths of the two institutions related to hydrology are generally quite distinct, with RPI emphasizing local and regional surface and groundwater field areas, including a considerable water management component imparted by Engineering School faculty participation, with CU, though Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory and the Goddard Institute of Space Studies (NASA), emphasizes interdisciplinary elements of number of fields, including paleoclimatology, atmospheric science, oceanography, dendrochronology and tracer geochemistry applications to the past several years that offer important new tools for investigations of surface and groundwaters through measurements of natural tracer substances including radionuclides, stable isotopes and chemicals such as freons. Students would matriculate at one of the tow institutions, and meet PhD requirements applicable there. Integration would be accomplished by having each student spend at least one semester in residence at the collaborating department, attending courses or doing field and laboratory work during their first three years. One member of the academic advisor team for each student would also be derived from the collaborating institution. Several ongoing joint research efforts between the two institutions on surface and groundwaters in the NYC and Hudson River valley areas would be expanded.

格尔-9554573辛普森本提案要求支持五（5）个水文学研究生培训，由伦斯勒理工学院地球与环境科学系和哥伦比亚大学地质科学系共同监督。 来自RPI和CU工程学院的教师也将作为潜在的论文顾问参加。 与水文学相关的两个机构的优势通常是相当不同的，RPI强调当地和区域地表水和地下水领域，包括工程学院教师参与传授的相当大的水管理组成部分，与CU，虽然拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球天文台和戈达德空间研究所（NASA），强调多个领域的跨学科元素，在过去几年中，国际水文学研究所在古气候学、大气科学、海洋学、树木年代学和示踪地球化学等方面的应用为通过测量天然示踪物质（包括放射性核素、稳定同位素和氟利昂等化学品）调查地表水和地下水提供了重要的新工具。 学生将在两个机构之一录取，并满足那里适用的博士要求。 整合将通过让每个学生在合作部门居住至少一个学期，在前三年参加课程或进行实地和实验室工作来完成。 每名学生的学术顾问团队成员也将来自合作机构。 这两个机构目前就纽约市和哈德逊河谷地区地表水和地下水开展的几项联合研究工作将得到扩大。
