Description

About the

NASA Postdoctoral Program

The NASA Postdoctoral Program (NPP) offers unique research opportunities to highly-talented scientists to engage in ongoing NASA research projects at a NASA Center, NASA Headquarters, or at a NASA-affiliated research institute. These one- to three-year fellowships are competitive and are designed to advance NASA’s missions in space science, Earth science, aeronautics, space operations, exploration systems, and astrobiology.

Description:

This opportunity is closed to applicants who are Senior Fellows (5-years or more past PhD).

Climate change is expected to amplify drought risk and hydroclimate variability for many regions. However, the state of the land surface (e.g., land use and land cover), and the associated processes (e.g., evapotranspiration, energy partitioning), represents a major source of uncertainty that limits progress and confidence in model projections. This research opportunity focuses on analyzing existing climate model simulations (e.g., in the CMIP5 archive) or conducting new simulations of the GISS coupled climate model (ModelE) to investigate the role of the land surface in hydroclimate dynamics. Potential topics include (but are not limited to) investigations of 1) the potential for land management (e.g., crop management, irrigation, soil carbon) to modulate regional hydroclimate in context with climate change, variability, and extremes; 2) the importance of various land surface processes and their interactions with natural climate variability and climate change for enhancing or ameliorating drought risk; 3) the role of hydroclimate variability and land surface interactions in past and future heat extremes; 4) the seasonal dynamics and potential predictability of drought between the cold and warm season.
