is supported by the NSF GSS program. Accepted students will pursue an MS degree in Environmental Science and design thesis projects aligned with project parameters. Full funding and travel allowances are available. Additional competitive funding opportunities
exist within the department. Background in environmental science and\or GIS and remote sensing are highly desirable.
