Series: 2024 Navigating (beyond) Academic Waters: Expectations, Collaborations & Service
September 12 - November 14, 2024 / 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM ET
Professional development activities targeting early career hydrologists effectively highlight career opportunities within and beyond academia; however, these conversations often overlook the specific needs of early career hydrologists as they embark on their careers. For this year’s Navigating Academic Waters webinar series the AGU Hydrology Section Student Subcommittee is hosting a series of webinars to help early career hydrologists identify missing skills, find a group of collaborators, and balance service in their new careers
