IIHR – Hydroscience & Engineering and the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at the University of Iowa seek a highly motivated PhD student to join Dr. Gabriele Villarini’s research group (http://www.gabrielevillarini.com). The research is part of a project funded by the National Science Foundation entitled “Quantification of the Impacts of Urban Areas on Heavy Rainfall and Flooding from North Atlantic Tropical Cyclones.” Building on a paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/s41586-018-0676-z) published in Nature last fall about the role of the City of Houston in exacerbating the flooding from Hurricane Harvey, the proposed research will focus on landfalling tropical cyclones impacting 12 major U.S. cities over a nearly 40-year period to examine the role played by urbanization in controlling the rainfall and flooding associated with these storms. The specific goals of the proposed research are to: 1) improve our understanding of the role of urban areas in modifying rainfall associated with U.S. landfalling tropical cyclones; 2) quantify the impacts of the cities in exacerbating flood response; and 3) characterize the urban signature in terms of the alteration of precipitation and runoff during the passage of tropical cyclones.
The student will receive a competitive salary and will receive full tuition support. Women and individuals representing underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.
The selected student will be part of IIHR—Hydroscience & Engineering. After graduation, the student will have the distinction of being an alumnus of one of the oldest and most prestigious hydraulics laboratories in the world. Additionally, the student will be part of the Iowa Flood Center (IFC), the nation’s first academic center devoted to the study of floods.
