  Deep Machine Learning for Probabilistic Seismic Inversion and Imaging
University of Exeter College of Engineering, Mathematics and Physical Sciences
  Dr S Das, Dr j Hickey
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
This project is one of a number that are in competition for funding from the NERC Great Western Four+ Doctoral Training Partnership (GW4+ DTP).
Details
Type/Funding
  PhD project: Automation of seismic processing with machine learning
Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal Department of Civil, Geological and Mining Engineering
  Prof G Fabien-Ouellet
Applications accepted all year round
Seismic imaging is a powerful technology used by geologists and engineers to image soils and rocs.

Type/Funding
  Imaging the lithosphere of the British Isles using Virtual Deep Seismic Sounding
Cardiff University Cardiff School of Earth and Ocean Sciences
  Dr D Thompson
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Project Background. The Mohorovicic discontinuity, or Moho, is one of the most important boundaries within the Earth and is located at the transition from the crust to the underlying mantle.

Type/Funding
  Caribbean Subduction: Seismic Imaging Melt and Volatiles in the Lesser Antilles
University of Southampton Ocean and Earth Science
  Dr C Rychert, Dr N Harmon
Application Deadline: 4 January 2019
Project Rationale. Dense oceanic tectonic plates sink beneath buoyant continental plates at subduction zones. The ocean plate adds volatiles like water to the mantle, lowering the melting temperature, and enabling melting and eventually volcanoes at Earth’s surface.

Type/Funding
  Imaging the fine-scale velocity structure, the physical properties and the sedimentary faulting that controls the fluid flow within the gas-charged sediments of northern North Sea.
University of Southampton Ocean and Earth Science
  Dr G Bayrakci, Prof J Bull
Application Deadline: 4 January 2019
Programme website. http://inspire-dtp.ac.uk. Project Rationale. Carbon Capture and Storage is a low carbon technology which captures the CO2 emitted during power generation, to securely and permanently store underground, for example within depleted oil and gas fields.

Type/Funding
  Stratified or not-stratified or somewhere in between: Multi-disciplinary study of partially stratified layers in Earth’s outer core
University of Leeds School of Earth & Environment
  Dr S Rost, Dr J Mound, Dr A Nowacki
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
The Earth’s outer core, the source of Earth’s magnetic field, is considered to be well mixed due to the fast convection (with velocities on the order of 10s km/yr) and the low viscosity of the liquid iron-nickel alloy.

Type/Funding
  Resilient light steel framing structures for seismic prone areas
Aberdeen University School of Engineering
  Dr A Bagheri Sabbagh, Dr P Dunning
Applications accepted all year round
Conventional light steel framing systems are made of cold-formed steel (CFS) sections, producing relatively low local buckling resistance and low stiffness and strength in the joints of the frames.
Details
Type/Funding
  Master/PhD Project: Undersea permafrost characterization using seismic attenuation
Ecole Polytechnique de Montreal Department of Civil, Geological and Mining Engineering
  Prof G Fabien-Ouellet
Applications accepted all year round
Extensive offshore areas all around the world are underlain by terrestrial permafrost. The frozen ground traps potent greenhouse gases like methane.
Details
Type/Funding
  Seismic monitoring of bedload transport in mountain rivers
University of Edinburgh School of Geosciences
  Dr M Naylor, Dr H Sinclair, Dr M Attal
Application Deadline: 10 January 2019
Project Summary. You will develop and utilise a seismic monitoring system to monitor the mobilisation and transport of bedload in mountain rivers to understand impacts on flood hazard and fluvial erosion rates.
Details
Type/Funding
  A critical assessment of fault growth models using Machine Learning tools
Cardiff University Cardiff School of Earth and Ocean Sciences
  Dr T Alves
Application Deadline: 7 January 2019
Project Background. Lithological heterogeneities in subsurface units are capable of distributing stresses in distinct ways, leading to the nucleation of faults and fractures in specific stratigraphic intervals.
