MSc In Snow-Groundwater Interactions

We’re excited to share that we are recruiting an MSc student to work on snowmelt–groundwater dynamics in mountain headwaters, starting May or September 2026.
The project will combine field instrumentation in the Castle region (Southern Alberta) with hydrological modelling to understand how snowmelt contributes to groundwater recharge and seasonal water availability under a changing climate. This is a great opportunity for a student interested in mountain hydrology, cryosphere processes, and climate impacts, with opportunities for both fieldwork and modelling development.

Key details

• Start date: May 2026 (preferred) or September 2026
• Duration: 2 years (MSc)
• Funding: $16,000 per year, plus potential scholarship and TA support
• Ideal applicant: background in hydrology, geoscience, environmental science, physical geography, or similar; enthusiasm for field and modelling work
