Hydrology and
Hydroclimatic Sciences @ Rutgers
![]() |
Rutgers is home to a diverse community of scientists engaged in studies of Earth's water cycle in the atmosphere, lithosphere, biosphere, and cryosphere, and the associated energy and biogeochemical fluxes that influence the climate system. Time scales of interest range from minutes in tropical deep convection to decades and millennia in groundwater and ice sheet dynamics and space scales range from hillslopes to continents. Affiliated research programs and faculty members are highlighted below. We welcome inquiries regarding potential graduate study and postdoctoral experiences. |
