22 January 2020

I am recruiting graduate students to join my new group within the Department of Geography at Simon Fraser University, Burnaby Mountain Campus, British Columbia, Canada.

Applications are due by 22 January, 2020, for admission in September, 2020.

Potential project research topic areas include but are not limited to:

subsurface water storage dynamics in relation to bedrock weathering patterns
understanding how subsurface water storage mediates forest sensitivity to drought
use of stable isotopes in water to track plant water sources, runoff pathways, and catchment transit times

Field work will be pursued at sites in the Northern California Coast Range and/or British Columbia. Experience coding and a background in hydrology, geomorphology, plant ecophysiology, critical zone science or a related field is preferable.
