  Anatomy of subduction megathrust: a unique view from deep drilling into the Nankai Trough, Japan
University of Liverpool School of Environmental Sciences
  Prof D Faulkner, Dr J Bedford, Dr E Mariani
Application Deadline: 23 January 2019
Subduction zone megathrust earthquakes are the largest and most destructive on earth, with many rupturing the seafloor and generating devastating tsunamis such as that produced after the M9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake in 2011.

  Late Pleistocene Geomagnetic and Environmental Change in East Asia
University of Southampton Ocean and Earth Science
  Dr C Xuan, Prof A Kemp
Application Deadline: 4 January 2019
Project Rationale. Earth’s magnetic field is essential to life on our planet because of the protection it provides from solar wind and cosmic rays.

  Ironing out the carbon cycle: Carbon burial associated with iron oxides in Arctic shelf sediments
University of Leeds School of Earth & Environment
  Dr C Marz, Prof C.L. Peacock
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
As marine geoscientists, we are interested in the capability of the world’s oceans to sequester atmospheric CO2 into photosynthetic algal biomass, and to ultimately lock it away in seafloor sediments when this biomass dies and sinks to the ocean depths.

  From Greenhouse to Icehouse: Past changes in southern hemisphere vegetation and the evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet (Advert Reference: RDF19/EE/GES/SALZMANN)
Northumbria University Faculty of Engineering and Environment
  Dr U Salzmann
Application Deadline: 25 January 2019
How stable were Antarctic Ice Sheets during warm climate intervals in the past? What are the main events and processes controlling Antarctic climate and how are they related to global environmental change? The polar regions play a key role in our understanding of environmental change in a future warmer-than-present world.

  Validating Cenozoic records of deep-sea ostracod diversity
University of Birmingham School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences
  Dr I Boomer
Applications accepted all year round
Ostracods are microscopic, bivalved crustaceans that have a long fossil record in marine and non-marine habitats. The existence of deep-sea ostracod assemblages in today’s oceans have been known since the 19th century Challenger expedition.
