Ph.D. Opportunities in Environmental Hydrology and Sustainability under Professor Jay Famiglietti

I am currently searching for doctoral students with a passion for, and commitment to, preserving Earth's environment for future generations.   In particular, our group is taking a lead role in accelerating the  development of next-generation hydrological models for use in  addressing a number of high priority issues. These include, but are not limited to, the future of water availability, adapting to changing climate, hydrology-driven food and energy security issues, sustainable water resources management and sea level rise.  We are also a leading  research team in GRACE applications to hydrology, including remote sensing of the terrestrial and global water cycles and groundwater depletion in the world's major aquifer systems.  These include efforts at the national scale, through the Community Hydrologic Modeling Platform (CHyMP) effort, and in California and the western U.S., through our new UC Center for Hydrologic Modeling.  To learn more about our program, please explore our website.  If you are really excited about what you see here, and you would like to prepare for a career in environmental leadership,  be sure to contact me directly, ASAP at jfamigli@uci.edu.
