The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization.
Ciaran Harman
The five-year grant will support Harman’s research into the movement of water through the landscape from rainfall to streams. The funds will be used to develop a field observatory at Oregon Ridge Park in Baltimore County, where detailed observations of water cycle dynamics and environmental tracers will help Harman and his students learn how the architecture of the surface and shallow subsurface controls the movement of water and contaminants in the deeply weathered landscape of the Piedmont.
The park and observatory will also be used to provide an opportunity for experiential, direct learning for undergraduate students, and funding from the grant will be used to help promising students from urban Baltimore public elementary schools attend STEM-enriched summer nature camps at the nearby nature center.
