Two positions in landscape response to retreating glaciers
2 maanden geleden
Mountain ranges are the primary source of global sediment and hotspots of geohazards. In their high-altitude, alpine regions, climate change is accelerating erosion and landslide activity due to rapid post-glacial landscape adjustment and permafrost degradation. While most current observations of these processes span just a few years or decades, there is an urgent need to understand how these dynamics unfold over much longer timescales (102 to 104 years) to quantify the impact of present, past and future glacial-interglacial climate changes.
This NWO-funded project (Dutch Research Council) aims to tackle this research gap by examining the interactions among erosion, topography, and sediment fluxes over millennial timescales in the Western Southern Alps of New Zealand, and how they are influenced by tectonics. Gaining such insights is crucial for predicting the magnitude and location of future climate-induced geohazards in alpine regions.
This project will consist of two tightly integrated PhD positions: PhD A: Quantifying Post-Glacial Erosion and Sediment Dynamics
This project will employ a combination of well-established and innovative geochronological techniques, such as 10Be-derived erosion rates, tracer thermochronology, and novel in-situ 14C/10Be ratios as a proxy for landsliding. Samples will be collected on the Southern Alps of New Zealand across a gradient of tectonic and climatic conditions. PhD B: Developing a Next-Generation Landscape Evolution Model In this project, you will develop the POLISHED model—POst gLacIal Surface and geocHronological Evolution Dynamics—designed to simulate hillslope processes and fluvial dynamics during deglaciation, and to explicitly simulate the accumulation and transport of geochronological tracers and track sediment provenance. This project also includes a data collection field campaign in the Southern Alps of New Zealand.Models and data will eventually be used to predict the impact of deglaciation on current mountain risk associated with climate change. Your Profile
We are looking for someone who is highly motivated to advance science on how retreating glaciers shape Earth’s surface. This comes with a willingness to learn how to conduct lab work and/or how to use and implement open-source computational models. Moreover, you should be willing to conduct fieldwork for several weeks in the Southern Alps mountains.
Besides, you:
hold a MSc degree (or equivalent) in Earth Sciences or related field (you can apply provided your MSc diploma will be obtained before the start of the position). are comfortable and enjoy working in a team and in close collaboration with other PhD students. are eager to learn how to write journal articles in English, culminating in a dissertation, and publishing these in leading scientific journals. are interested in contributing to teaching and supervising bachelor and master students. are motivated to attend and present at international conferences.As a university, we strive for equal opportunities for everyone, realizing that diversity takes many forms. We believe that diversity in all its complexity is invaluable for the quality of our education, research and services. We are always looking for talent with diverse backgrounds and experiences. This also means that we are committed to creating an inclusive community, so that we can use diversity as added value.
We recognize that each individual brings a unique set of skills, expertise, and mindset.
