PhD Position Modelling Fast Earth Deformation - Transient Mantle Rheology Responding to Ice Sheet Mass Changes-
Teaser
**_Challenge: Lack of consistent models for mantle deformation_**
**_ Change: Use of innovative Earth deformation models on multiple time and spatial scales_**
**_ Impact: Understanding of solid Earth-ice interaction_**
Job description
The shrinking of large ice sheets currently leads to high uplift rates of the Earth’s surface in their vicinity because of fast viscous flow in the upper mantle. Studying these deformation process, known as glacial isostatic adjustment, provides a unique possibility to understand how the strength of the upper mantle changes over time, and in response to changes in loading. At the same time, there is an important feedback between surface uplift and stability of glaciers. Understanding of how the earth surface will uplift below glaciers may provide better predictions of the future of large ocean-terminating glaciers.
In this project, you will use newly developed numerical models of Earth deformation. These make use of novel microphysical models that describe how mantle rocks deform at upper mantle conditions. You will test how predictions from this new model fit with observational data of past and current-day surface motions and make projections of future uplift in a deglaciating world. The research incorporates both working with numerical models, as well as analyzing time series of geodetic data.
This project is part of a larger effort that aims at revolutionizing our understanding of mantle deformation and its feedback with surface processes. There is ample room for interacting with our partners at the faculty, and national and international research institutes on topics as microphysics of the mantle, surface deformation and ice dynamics.
Becoming an independent thinker is part of the PhD-program, hence we welcome your own ideas on how to shape this research project. We also care that you develop skills and a network that will be important for your career beyond the PhD-program. In our faculty, you will interact with students and staff working on earth-system aspects, including the cryosphere, solid-earth and oceans, from both modelling and observational perspectives.
**Requirements**:
Need-to-haves:
- Master's degree in Earth sciences, physics, applied mathematics, engineering, computer science or related discipline.
- Strong skills in numerical modelling, solid mechanics and/or analysing geodetic data
- Experience working with Fortran, Python or Matlab.
- A demonstrable interest in any of the topics from the job description
- Good organizational skills and ability to work independently.
- Good command of written and spoken English.
Nice-to haves:
- Experience with peer-reviewed scientific publishing will be appreciated.
