Are you a UW scientist interested in mountain hydrology? Do
you want to help further scientific understanding of mountain watersheds, snow
hydrology, surface water and ground water interactions or weathering and
critical zone processes? WyCEHG (Wyoming
Center for Environmental Hydrology and Geophysics) has issued a request for proposals
(RFP) to UW faculty members for projects related to all of the above.
The proposals, which are due November 7, 2014, are funded by Wyoming EPSCoR’s Track-1 grant.
Approximately $2 million are available to individual faculty members or teams
of faculty. Recipients of the funding will have access to WyCEHG’s study areas
in Wyoming’s Laramie Range and Snowy Range.
“In announcing this RFP, we are hoping to attract new
researchers into WyCEHG, while simultaneously focusing the funded activities on
our key goals in mountain hydrology and environmental geophysics. This represents a great opportunity for
faculty, students, and postdocs to get involved in, and add value to, some exciting
research topics in Wyoming," says WyCEHG co-director Steve Holbrook.
The most competitive proposals will address geological,
ecological, hydrological, atmospheric, geochemical and geophysical processes
that control water fluxes in mountain environments. And while the proposals
should also fall into the following four scientific themes: 1) water balance in
mountain watersheds, 2) snow hydrology, 3) surface water/groundwater
interactions and 4) weathering and critical zone processes, integration among
themes is highly encouraged.
