环境流体力学与水文学理学硕士

斯坦福大学土木与环境工程系的环境与流体力学与水文学专业专门研究水资源工程，水文学，环境流体力学以及环境与水资源规划。该计划由8名教职员工和大约50名研究生组成。该计划在研究和实际应用之间提供了健康的平衡。提供三个研究生学位：理学硕士（MS），工程师（Eng。）和哲学博士（Ph.D.）。MS学位以专业实践为导向，而在MS后期（英语和博士学位），活动则更偏重于研究。课堂教学的目的是建立对基本物理和生物学过程的理解，并在适当时运用数学和计算工具。我们的研究力求在理论，计算和实验观察（包括实验室和现场规模实验）之
The Environmental and Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology Program in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering at Stanford University specializes in studies of water resources engineering, hydrology, environmental fluid mechanics, and environmental and water resources planning. The program consists of 8 faculty and approximately 50 graduate students. The program offers a healthy balance between research and practical application. Three graduate degrees are offered: Master of Science (M.S.), Engineer (Eng.), and Doctor of Philosophy (Ph.D.). The M.S. degree is oriented toward professional practice, whereas at the post-M.S. level (Eng. and Ph.D.) activities are more heavily weighted toward research. Classroom teaching aims to build an understanding of fundamental physical and biological processes, employing mathematics and computational tools where relevant. Our research strives for appropriate balance between theory, computation, and experimental observation, including both laboratory and field-scale experiments. Multidisciplinary cooperation is a major feature of our approaches in teaching as well as in research. Within the Environmental Fluid Mechanics & Hydrology Program, the focus is on the movement of surface and groundwater. With respect to water, attention is given to the environmental and economic factors important in planning water resources. Environmental fluid mechanics courses address fluid and sediment transport and mixing processes, turbulence and its modeling, the fluid mechanics of stratified flows, natural flows in coastal waters, estuaries, lakes and open channels, atmospheric flows and experimental methods. Hydrology courses consider stochastic methods in both surface and subsurface hydrology, watershed hydrology and modeling, and flow and transport in porous media. Planning courses highlight issues related to sustainable water resources development, both in the U.S. and in developing countries. Degree programs can be developed by combining environmental fluid mechanics and hydrology classes with courses from programs and departments which both complement and supplement the Environmental Fluid Mechanics and Hydrology Program offerings. Some examples include Environmental Engineering and Science, Mechanical Engineering, Applied Earth Sciences, Computer Science, Petroleum Engineering, Biological Sciences and Statistics.
