GER-9554597 Bopp This proposal requests support for three (3) 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.

GER-9554597 BOPP该提案请求支持三(3)个水文学专业的研究生培训项目，由伦斯勒理工学院的地球和环境科学系以及哥伦比亚大学的地质科学系共同监督。来自RPI和CU工程学院的教员也将作为潜在的论文顾问参加。这两个机构在水文学方面的优势总体上是相当不同的，区域水文学研究所侧重于地方和区域地表水和地下水领域，其中包括工程学院教职员工的参与下提供的相当大的水资源管理部门，不过拉蒙特-多尔蒂地球天文台和戈达德空间研究所(美国航天局)强调一些领域的跨学科因素，包括古气候学、大气科学、海洋学、树木年代学和示踪地球化学的应用，这些领域在过去几年中为通过测量包括放射性核素、稳定同位素和氟利昂等化学物质在内的天然示踪物质来调查地表水和地下水提供了重要的新工具。学生将被这两所院校中的一所录取，并符合那里适用的博士学位要求。通过让每个学生在合作部门至少住上一个学期，参加课程或在头三年做实地和实验室工作，就可以实现一体化。每个学生的学术顾问团队中的一名成员也将从合作机构中产生。两个机构正在进行的几项关于纽约市和哈德逊河流域地区地表水和地下水的联合研究工作将得到扩大。
