REACH
Research and Education Advancement through Cooperative Hydrology
This is a forum for sharing and exchanging information related to both research and teaching. Each of the participants of REACH is a soon to be or recent PhD with an interest in research and teaching in the hydrologic sciences. Many of the group are new Assistant Professors, some are Post-Docs, and a few are in the midst of finishing their degrees. This page serves as a home for the group and a place to post files and information to share with the group. The goal of REACH is to provide emerging scientists with a virtual set of "colleagues next-door" for collaboration, discussion, and shared materials. Our intent is mutual assistance and support. We are in the planning stages of a cooperative, modular hydrological curriculum. Current Reach participant list and contact info

MOCHA GRA POSITION ANNOUNCEMENT: We are currently looking for an enthusiastic MS student to work on a hydrology education project funded by the National Science Foundation and located at the Pennsylvania State University, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering. The project’s main objective is to develop a web-based curriculum for hydrology education in both science and engineering departments. The student will also develop an MS thesis project in the general area of relating watershed structure and behavior within the Civil Engineering Water Resources Program. The student will be part of a multi-disciplinary team of hydrologists making this a unique opportunity to obtain in-depth quantitative and qualitative hydrology training. A research assistantship of ~ $20,000 per year, plus full tuition, is available for a 2-year period. For more information, please contact Dr. Thorsten Wagener (tuw4@psu.edu, 1- 814-865-5673), or visit our department website at http://www.engr.psu.edu/ce/. For more information on the project see http://watershed.montana.edu/hydrology/REACH.html.
