Dear Sir:

San Diego State University's Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering accepts Dr. Antonio Paulo de Faria as a temporary researcher/scholar from July 2009 to December 2010 to develop the work entitled "Capacity of small streams to carry out sediments from the slopes."

This work will be performed under my supervision. We look forward to working with Dr. Antonio Faria.

Best regards,

Sincerely yours,
