皇冠博彩app entered into a Memorandum of Understanding with 河海 University in 十月中旬，中国南京. 的 agreement paves the way for future cooperation between the two universities’ Hydrology Departments.

NMT院长博士. Stephen Wells and 河海 President Xu Hui signed official documents on October 16 on the campus in Nanjing. Wells had previously established ties with 河海 at his previous position as president of the Desert 研究 Institute in Reno, 内华达州.

President Hui “is a good friend and I’ve known him a few years,” Wells said. “河海 is one of the top two universities in China in water engineering and water sciences. For me, it’s a real honor to partner with such a distinguished university.

“给n the expertise at New Mexico tech, it was only appropriate to bring these two institutions together and collaborate on research fronts and leverage our capabilities to address some of the world’s most challenging issues with water 资源.”

Both universities have world-renowned programs in instruction and research in water 资源. 河海 is expanding its international relationships and identified New Mexico 作为首映节目. 的 MOU lays the foundation for student exchanges, faculty exchanges, and collaborative research projects. During the week-long visit, four NMT professors presented lectures at a hydrology conference hosted by 河海 University.

Two 河海 University students have studied at 皇冠博彩app and impressed their 同学和教员. One has already graduated and one is still in classes. 助理 V.P. Dr. Peter Mozley said NMT faculty are enthusiastic about establishing greater academic and research ties with 河海 faculty and students.

资助中国研究生

河海将派出博士.D. students funded by the NSFC China Scholarship Council to New 墨西哥科技. Chinese exchange students have their own funding to pay for tuition, travel, living expenses, and research.

水文学教授. Jesus Gomez-Velez和Dr. Andrew Luhmann有职位空缺 合格的Ph值.D. 皇冠博彩app的学生. Dr. 河海大学的于教授将会提供帮助 recruit students to fill current Ph.D. 部门职位.

河海/NMT 研究生 Hydrology Course

NMT and 河海 faculty will team-teach a graduate-level hydrology course. 类 will explore scientific questions linked to the experimental catchments in China and 在美国.S., including intensive field work in both China and the U.S. 为了检验假设 在课堂上发展.

教师联系

As a direct result of the October visit, Gomez-Velez has started to work with 河海 professors Xiaobing Chen and Li Chen on cooperative projects. 鲁曼和亚历克斯·莱因哈特 N的值.M. Bureau of Geology will collaborate with the Dean of the Geological Engineering 河海大学学院. Dr. Mark Person will work with the Geological Engineering and Oceanography 河海大学学院 to study groundwater intrusion and groundwater processes in coastal environments.

学生访问

河海Ph值.D. students would visit NMT for a year, taking classes and interacting with the NMT faculty member involved in the collaboration. 类似交流机会 for three months would be available for PhD students at NMT through the School for International Education at 河海 University.

NMT教员短期课程

NMT faculty could spend several weeks at 河海 offering short courses. 这将 allow them to make strong connections with 河海 faculty, with an aim to developing 研究合作. 的 exact courses offered will be determined based on the interest of 河海 faculty and students.
