S66. Aeolian transport of sand and dust from rivers and reservoirs
We seek a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow to investigate how river and reservoir hydrology affect sediment supply for aeolian transport. The Fellow will develop novel model workflows to predict the aeolian transport of sand or dust from subaerially exposed river- or reservoir-sourced sediment as a function of the use and regulation of Colorado River water supply.
S64. Remote sensing of groundwater in developing nations
We are seeking a Mendenhall Fellow to advance our ability to use satellite-based remotely sensed data to map potential groundwater availability and groundwater recharge zones in developing nations.
