'''Fire, floods, and drought: Advancing assessment and prediction of extreme event impacts on water quality '''
Extreme hydrologic events, such as wildfires, floods, and droughts, can cause substantial water-quality impairment with disruptive and costly implications for water availability. These events can result in water-quality impairment, depletion or sedimentation of reservoirs, and impaired water-treatment efficiency. Large gaps exist in our ability to assess and predict water-quality responses to extreme hydrologic events. We seek new ideas and approaches for addressing major science gaps in extreme event impacts under the Mendenhall opportunity. Proposed work could include some combination of approaches, including field investigation, trend and driver analyses, and model development/application to (1) quantify short- and long-term effects of extreme hydrologic events on streamflow and water quality and (2) identify and quantify factors and processes controlling water-quality responses. Research endeavors should be designed with an eye toward predictive capability extensible to regional or national scales, and is expected to leverage USGS assets in data collection, assessment, and prediction of water quality. We encourage applicants to reach out to the research advisors during the proposal formulation/writing process with questions regarding the scope and methodologies for the research opportunity.
Proposed Duty Station: Boulder, CO<br>
Closing Date: January 6, 2022<br>
Start date: Between July 2022 and March 2023<br>

'''Graduate Research Assistantships'''<br>
Forest Ecohydrology & Watershed Systems (FEWS) Lab at the University of California, Merced is seeking applications for two fully funded Ph.D. research assistantships in forest ecohydrology of the Sierra Nevada. The projects supporting these positions are part of a larger effort to better understand the interplay between climate, vegetation, and subsurface water storage under changing climate and forest composition and structure. We will be using in-situ and remote sensing measurements and numerical modeling for predicting water portioning between runoff, storage, and evapotranspiration across the landscape. Potential research topics can include isotope ecohydrology, ecosystem services, water and vegetation dynamics, montane groundwater, and forest soil health.
'''Adaptive Watershed Management''': Healthy forests provide a range of ecosystem services, from storing, filtering, and delivering clean water for downstream uses to sequestering carbon and provisioning habitat for wildlife. However, many of these ecosystem services are at risk due to overgrowth, changing climate, extended fire season, hot droughts, and epidemics of forest pests and diseases. The major land managers in the region are undertaking fuel treatments to reduce the risk of large-scale wildfires and restore forests to a healthy and more-sustainable state. This project aims to investigate how active forest management impacts key ecohydrological processes across scales and critical zone characteristics.
'''Advancing Nature-Based Climate Solutions''': Sierra Nevada range, known as the water tower of California, receives 27 percent of the state’s precipitation and supplies more than 60% of California's consumptive water use. Snowmelt from this region supplies irrigation water to central valley farms that grow half of the USA’s vegetables, fruits, and nuts. The quality and quantity of this critical natural resource are increasingly threatened by climate change. This project will investigate active forest management as a Nature-Based Climate Solution (NbCS) to address climate change and its impact on forest health, water availability, carbon sequestration, and other related ecosystem services.
The incoming students will join the Environmental Systems (https://es.ucmerced.edu/) Graduate Group at University of California, Merced in Fall 2025. University of California provides a highly competitive graduate research assistantships, benefits, and full tuition waiver (see pay scale here: https://www.ucop.edu/academic-personnel-programs/_files/2024-25/oct-2024-scales/t22.pdf). Graduate teaching assistantships are available to students interested in teaching and mentoring opportunities. UC Merced offers multiple internal fellowships to meritorious and high achieving outstanding graduate students (https://graduatedivision.ucmerced.edu/funding/internal).
Prospective candidates are encouraged to contact Dr. Safeeq Khan (msafeeq@ucmerced.edu) with their curriculum vitae (CV) and a brief statement of interest. This research statement should describe their academic goals, motivation for pursuing a Ph.D. at UC Merced, and relevant experience in the area described above. Applicants with background in Civil & Environmental Engineering, Agricultural Engineering, Earth Sciences, Natural Resources Management, Water Resources, or related fields are preferred. These positions require driving long-distances and carrying research equipment in mountainous terrain.
