This summer, CI-WATER and the University of Wyoming is inviting students from Historically Black Colleges and Universities to participate in an undergraduate course in the basics of hydrological modeling. Beginning June 15, participants will spend a week learning the basics of creating computer simulations for watershed analysis based on data they collect in the field.

Participants need not have prior experience with hydrologic modeling and numerical methods; $250 stipends, travel reimbursement, and room and board may be available. To register, contact Beth Cable by May 2.
