Academic Level: Graduate Students (Masters), Graduate Students (PhD)

Description: This NSF-sponsored Integrative Graduate Education and Research Traineeship (IGERT) program supports establishment of a multidisciplinary PhD program in “Water in the Urban Environment” at UMBC. Solutions to complex problems associated with the effect of urbanization on the water cycle require integrated ecological, economic and engineering approaches, as well as innovations in policy-making.

This program will train a generation of PhD students who understand these linkages and are prepared to work in multidisciplinary teams to improve understanding and management of urban environmental systems. The program is centered on three interwoven themes: (1) urban hydrology and contaminant transport; (2) urban biogeochemical cycles, aquatic ecosystems, and human health; and (3) urban water policy, management, and institutions.
