Interdisciplinary PhD program in Hydrology; newly established at University of Wyoming to establish and enhance research and education in hydrology.

MS program that acts as an interdisciplinary concurrent degree in Water Resources for people pursuing a degree in a topic directly related to hydrology and / or water resources.

Steve Holbook (Prof. in Geology & Geophysics) and I are the science PIs and work with Anne Sylvester, the EPSCoR PI, to manage this multi-faceted effortMany of the most pressing issues facing the western United States hinge on the fate and transport of water and its response to diverse disturbances, including climate change, bark beetle infestations, and energy extraction. A grand challenge for water resources management is to optimize water allocation among stakeholders whose diverse needs range from watering crops to extracting fossil fuels, safeguarding drinking water, and delivering water to downstream communities.To meet this multifaceted challenge, managers need scientific advances that reduce longstanding uncertainties in understanding water pathways and will lead to improved water resource management. The goal of this project is to establish a lasting center of excellence in environmental hydrology and geophysics that transforms science and watershed management in Wyoming by providing cutting-edge knowledge and tools to water resource managers and scientists in the public and private sectors. To achieve this, the Wyoming Center for Environmental Hydrology and Geophysics (WyCEHG) was established. This multidisciplinary center encompasses new physical and intellectual infrastructure that enables a comprehensive research program linking surface and subsurface watershed hydrology, geophysics, remote sensing, and computational modeling.Visit us at www.uwyo.edu/epscor Show less
