Student Opportunities

Student Paper Competition

As part of the annual AMS meeting the Hydrology Committee sponsors a student paper competition to recognize the exceptional work of the students related to hydrologic sciences. Multiple judges will evaluate each student paper and the top two oral and poster presentations will be recognized and awarded a cash prize. Students enter the competition by indicating their intent to participate during the abstract submission process. We encourage all students both at the undergraduate and graduate level to enter. Further questions regarding the competition can be directed to Fadji Maina
