The Hydrological Sciences Branch (formerly Code 974) is a branch of the Hydrospheric and Biospheric Sciences Laboratory located at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland.
Water is critical to sustaining life on Earth, and helps to tie together the Earth's lands, oceans, and atmosphere into an integrated physical system. Here, at the Hydrological Sciences Branch, we recognize the primary role of water in the Earth system, and seek a deeper insight into the science and physical principles underlying hydrology from local to global perspectives.
Our Science Highlights are published monthly to our web site. Each report is fully viewable online as JPG files. The PowerPoint files are also archived and freely available for download. |
Potential Terrestrial Water Cycle Civil Servant Positions
The Goddard Space Flight Center’s Earth sciences hiring needs are based on Agency and National strategic Earth science goals, as expressed in the recent National Research Council Decadal Survey Report, the International Program for Climate Change, the Climate Change Science Program, and on a careful analysis of our current staff. In response to these analyses we need to immediately institute a program of hiring up to ten new science staff. These scientists will have an unparalleled opportunity to be involved in critical Earth science research that will define our understanding of our planet’s climate.
