Two master students will work on a project funded by the Department of Energy to evaluate mass (water, sediment, and nutrient) accumulation rate and patterns in topographic lows between abandoned channels of the Rio Grande Delta via field survey and numerical models. Students can also work on projects broadly defined in Earth and planetary surface processes. All four positions are fully funded with a tuition waiver!
The postdoc will be working on a project funded by the USGS to detect geomorphic change in the lower Rio Grande Valley using airborne LiDAR datasets collected in 2011 and 2022 and interpreting the geomorphic changes to address applied questions about the US-Mexico border and the Rio Grande. The project is a collaboration between UTRGV, the University of Texas at Austin (Dr. Tim Goudge), and the USGS center (Dr. Joel Sankey and David Dean) in Flagstaff, Arizona. Funding is available for traveling to the former two institutions for mentorship and to AGU annually.
