Coauthored by Reza Khanbilvardi of City College in Geosciences Evaluation of the Snow Thermal Model (SNTHERM) through Continuous in situ Observations of Snow’s Physical Properties at the CREST-SAFE Field Experiment Abstract Snowpack properties like temperature or density are the result of a complex energy and mass balance process in the snowpack that varies temporally and spatially. The Snow Thermal Model (SNTHERM) is a 1-dimensional model, energy and mass balance-driven, that simulates these properties. This article analyzes the simulated snowpack properties using SNTHERM forced with two datasets, namely measured meteorological data at the Cooperative Remote Sensing Science and Technology-Snow Analysis and Field …
Learn about a great funding opportunity available to Grad Center doctoral students in their 2nd through 6th year. The Doctoral Student Research Grant (DSRG) provides up to $1,500 to support, among other things, travel and accommodations for research or a conference, compensation for research subjects, and various other expenses. See the guidelines here: http://www.gc.cuny.edu//CUNY_GC/media/CUNY-Graduate-Center/DSRGguidelines.pdf The deadline to apply for Round 11 is January 31, 2016 — though we recommend you apply much earlier. (If you received the DSRG for Round 10, you are not eligible.) If you have any questions after having read the guidelines, email us at dsrg@gc.cuny.edu
The Graduate Center is allowed to nominate up to three students for the Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fellowship. The Graduate Center’s Internal Deadline is Monday, January 4, 2016, 5pm. Students who wish to be considered must submit a completed application (along with supporting materials) to Rachel Sponzo in the Office of the Provost (Room 8113). Students should submit the application and supporting documents in hard copy (single-sided, no staples), along with sealed copies of reference letters and transcripts. The applications will be reviewed by the Graduate Center to determine which three will be forwarded to the Dolores Zohrab Liebmann Fund …
