Interdisciplinary and Interdepartmental
Our mission is to connect the hydroscientists at CU Boulder with the academic and research opportunities found across campus. The overarching goals are to support hydroscience students and to bridge the gaps in cutting-edge research.
Certificate and PhD Subplan
Graduate students enrolled in participating departments at the University of Colorado at Boulder may apply to earn an interdisciplinary and interdepartmental graduate certificate or PhD subplan designation in Hydrologic Sciences. The program curriculum focuses on quantitative studies of water in the environment including its role in geologic and biogeochemical processes, ecosystem functions, and global elemental cycling.
Student Research Symposium
The student led Hydrologic Sciences Symposium is held every spring semester.
Career Mentoring
All CU students interested in careers related to Hydrologic Sciences may join the Water Buffs - Colorado's only Student Chapter of the American Water Resources Association, apply for scholarships, and participate in career development opportunities.
