Environmental scientists and hydrologists (2651 words) |
 | Environmental scientists and hydrologists use their knowledge of the physical makeup and history of the Earth to protect the environment, study the properties of underground and surface waters, locate water and energy resources, predict water-related geologic hazards, and offer environmental site assessments and advice on indoor air quality and hazardous-waste-site remediation. |
| Environmental scientists and hydrologists in research positions with the Federal Government or in colleges and universities frequently are required to design programs and write grant proposals in order to continue their data collection and research. |
| Environmental scientists and hydrologists have extensive training in physical sciences, and many apply their knowledge of chemistry, physics, biology, and mathematics to explain certain phenomena closely related to the work of geoscientists. |
| Homepage :: Graduate Environmental Engineering at NMSU (580 words) |
| The environmental engineering program at NMSU provides unique educational and research opportunities at the graduate level in the fields of water quality, water treatment, water pollution control, wastewater treatment reclamation and reuse, hazardous and soil waste management, and groundwater treatment. |
| Students desiring to work toward an advanced degree in environmental engineering must have completed undergraduate preparation substantially equivalent to that required for a Bachelor of Science degree in engineering at this institution, or must have an adequate background as will be determined by the graduate faculty of this program. |
| Issues related to air pollution control engineering and environmental and occupation health engineering are covered through special topics classes and by courses taught outside of the College of Engineering. |
