Very excited that this all-women review paper is officially published! We review the status of urban hydrology, specifically focusing on moving us beyond looking at only impervious surface cover. We also highlight the five main areas of growth we see for the field. This paper was so much fun to write over the last 6-ish months! The paper is available for free through March 28, 2023 here: https://authors.elsevier.com/c/1gYYy52cubJRK

Beyond thrilled to announce that GSU Geosciences, along with amazing collaborators at West Atlanta Watershed Alliance, EcoAction, Spelman College, Emory University, and University of Georgia, have been awarded $7.2 million for 5 years to expand CSAW: Community-Soil-Air-Water. This project aims to integrate justice, equity, diversity, and inclusion principles and programming with community collaborations to solve socio-environmental problems. The objective of CSAW is to answer the question How can Geosciences learn from, contribute to, and find solutions with communities facing fundamental problems related to Earth systems? We will be recruiting post-baccalaureate scholars and Master's students for the project in spring 2023 to start in summer/fall 2023. If you are interested, keep an eye on our website: geosciences.gsu.edu/csaw/ and I will also post here when applications open. Very excited that our (myself, Marty Briggs, Robin Glas, and Margaret Zimmer) summary of Laura Lautz's research career (so far) has been published in Journal of Hydrology X for the special issue on Women in Hydrology! "Connecting diverse disciplines to improve understanding of surface water-groundwater interactions" is available open access: doi.org/10.1016/j.hydroa.2022.100141
Open 11-month (48 week) post-baccalaureate position in Hydrology at Georgia State University
Work with Dr. Sarah H. Ledford and Dr. Luke Pangle on their NSF-supported project to investigate the impact of urban beaver dams on sediment retention and subsequent metal concentrations in Atlanta, GA! We have received funding through the NSF REPS (research experience for post-baccalaureate students) program (more info here: https://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2022/nsf22072/nsf22072.jsp). The Lab is committed to being a safe, equitable learning environment for all. The position is currently written to explore questions around measuring sediment fluxes into and out of urban stormwater and beaver ponds, along with measuring metals sorbed to those sediments. This work will combine field data collection and lab measurements using the new LA-ICP-MS in Geosciences. However, this can be negotiated to be more specific to the REPS scholar’s interests. Mentoring will be a strong part of the project, including mentoring by Dr. Ledford and from M.S. students at GSU working on the project. Required qualifications: This position is open to students who have received a B.A. or B.S. in a related field (geology, environmental science, biology, chemistry, engineering, or other earth-related fields) and are not currently enrolled in a graduate program, who missed an opportunity to participate in an REU because of COVID, and who are from a minoritized group. The REPS scholar will also need reliable access to a car for field work in the Atlanta area (there is funding for reimbursement of field work travel expenses). Preferred qualifications: Basic lab chemistry experience, experience reading and exploring primary literature, experience with field data collection, completion of a surface water hydrology course. These are NOT REQUIRED. If you do not have these qualifications, please still apply! Salary: $764/week for 48 weeks as direct pay (no taxes will be withheld and you will have to file estimated taxes). Does not currently include health benefits but this is negotiable if the selected candidate needs coverage. This is anticipated to be 32 to 40 hours a week and will include time off for holidays and vacation as negotiated. Some flexibility in scheduling those hours is highly desired, as there will be some storm chasing. To apply: please send (1) a short cover letter explaining your interest in research, interest in the position, and what your long-term academic/career goals are, (2) a copy of your transcript, and (3) your resume to [email protected] no later than Friday, September 23rd, 2022. Top candidates will be contacted for an interview. Preferred start date: No later than the end of October After wrapping up, Julian hopped right onto a plane to begin his PhD at Southern Cross University in Australia!
