We are generally looking for students interested in a Ph.D. program in our lab. If you have hands-on experiences with machine learning, hydrology, geodesy (e.g., satellite gravimetry and positioning systems), optical satellite imagery, water resources, and/or related fields, please contact swerth @ vt.edu .

For open positions (if listed below), please apply by sending a cover letter, your CV, and contact information for two references via email to swerth @ vt.edu. All applications will be answered, but this will be done in clusters, hence, it may take a few weeks before you receive a response. Your patience is appreciated.

Note: The recently announce postdoc and Ph.D. positions have been filled and applications are no longer accepted.

Susanna Werth is a Geodesist/Engineer specialized in satellite gravimetry, large-scale hydrology and water resource management. Her research interests are the time-dependent Earth and planetary gravity field, hydrology, terrestrial water cycle and resources management, interaction of the water, climate, environmental and human societies as well as signal processing. A main focus of her research is on monitoring, modeling and forecasting the Earth’s water mass budget variations using remote sensing data. This multifaceted research effort includes: Enhancing techniques for monitoring water mass budget variations with a focus on gavity and deformation data; Obtaining and analyzing large-scale estimates of temporal changes in continental water mass budget; And investigating impact of changes in water availability on environment, human societies as well as crisis management.
