COOPERATIVE RESEARCH CENTRE FOR
CATCHMENT HYDROLOGY

POSTGRADUATE SCHOLARSHIPS

in

FOREST HYDROLOGY AND WATERWAY MANAGEMENT ISSUES 

The Cooperative Research Centre (CRC) for Catchment Hydrology has funding for two 
PhD scholarships.  The general problem area for the research is modelling runoff and 
associated sediment transport in forest areas and other environments such as grazing areas. 
It is envisaged that the work will be largely undertaken in Canberra through the CSIRO 
Division of Water Resources with PhD enrolment at Monash or the University of 
Melbourne.

The scholarships will relate to the following projects in forest hydrology and waterway 
management programs:

Forest hydrology
Sediment movement  in forestry environments:  managing the important sources and 
pathways to streams
Existing erosion prediction models will be validated using data being collected on sediment 
erosion with various soil types. 

Waterway management
Controlling sediment and nutrient delivery from hillslopes to streams
Field simulation, tracer techniques and simulation models are involved in this work.  
Related work is described on the CRC home page at 
http://civil-www.eng.monash.edu.au/crcch/projb1.htm.

Applications are invited from computer science, maths or engineering graduates with First 
Class Honours or equivalent.  A strong grounding in FORTRAN is essential and some 
experience in hydrological modelling, or earth sciences would be an advantage.

These scholarships are comparable in value to the Australian Postgraduate Award (Industry) 
levels (currently $19,827 per year maximum).  For exceptional candidates, including those 
holding APA or similar scholarships, an industry-based loading of up to $5,000 may be 
payable.

The scholarships are open to Australian citizens and those who qualify for Australian 
permanent residence.

For application forms and further information on projects, please contact 
Dr Jacky Croke (Tel.: (06) 246 5788;  Fax: (06) 246 5845;  Email:

Closing date for this round is Friday 26 July 1996

Bureau of Meteorology, Monash and Melbourne Universities, the Victorian Rural Water 
Authorities, Department of Natural Resources and Environment, Melbourne Water, and the
