Course Overview
The Hydrologic Sciences Graduate Group (HSGG) at the University of California at Davis offers M.S. and Ph. D. degrees emphasizing physical, chemical, and biological processes related to the storage and circulation of water and associated constituents on Earth. HSGG offers options in Hydrology, Hydro, geochemistry, and Hydrobiology, and within the Hydrology option students can specialize in surface hydrology, subsurface hydrology, water resources management, or irrigation and drainage. Students with training in hydrologic sciences, geology, geophysics, engineering, soil science, biology, chemistry, computer science, fluid mechanics, mathematics, and physics are strongly encouraged to apply for admission to the graduate program. ourses emphasize process-oriented critical thinking and quantitative analysis, with increasing use of environmental informatics. Faculty expertise spans the understanding of pattern and process in the Earth's subsurface and surficial critical zone (i. e. , the thin veneer of Earth that extends from the top of the vegetation to the base of weathered bedrock) as well as biogeochemistry, land-atmosphere interaction, and water resources management. UC Davis is known for blending basic and applied science, with examples of societal problems that students work on including water quality and contaminant transport, impacts and uncertainties of climate change, ecosystem services and restoration, sustainable agriculture, watershed management, and water systems optimization.
