About this opportunity

We are seeking MS and PhD students who are interested in conducting research as part of the Transect of the Americas research network in Central and South America.This program leverages a network of research sites and an interdisciplinary team of collaborators from twelve institutions in six countries stretching from Alberta, Canada to Patagonia, Chile, and Argentina. Each country in our Network contains one or more research sites that can be studied as a social-ecological system (SES) including both the headwaters (i.e., natural watersheds or hydro-climatic systems) and the downstream water use systems and the embedded social systems. Collectively, we refer to these social-ecological systems as headwater dependent systems (HDSs). Our network studies the changing hydro-climatic patterns an
