PhD position in surface processes at Georgia Tech

The Georgia Tech Surface Processes Group is welcoming applicants to the PhD program in the School of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences starting in Fall 2016. Our research group works on a range of subjects from landscape evolution to silicate weathering to sea level dynamics, and uses a range of tools to study these phenomena, including cosmogenic nuclides, field instrumentation, trace element geochemistry, and numerical modeling. We are looking for a student to join an NSF-funded project on sea-level responses to the erosion and deposition of sediment, with a focus on understanding sea-level patterns at the mid-Pliocene climate optimum, a time often used to forecast ice sheet stability under modern climate change.

 

Prospective students are encouraged to contact Ken Ferrier (ferrier@gatech.edu) for more information, and to see http://www.eas.gatech.edu/academics/app-process/ for details on how to apply by the January 1 deadline.
