Emergence and equilibration of zonal winds on giant planets: a wave-mean flow interaction approach
The Vortex Dynamics group in the School of Mathematics and Statistics at the University of St Andrews is looking for applicants for a PhD studentship for a start in September 2025. Read more
Using earthquakes to constrain stress in the Earth
The magnitude and orientation of stress in the Earth determine how the Earth deforms. It is a first-order feature that one must quantify when considering loads on the Earth’s surface, flow within the Earth’s crust and mantle, or the nucleation and rupture of earthquakes. Read more
Tidewater glacier mass-loss mechanisms in Northwest Greenland
The Greenland Ice Sheet is currently the leading ice-sheet contributor to sea-level rise. Read more
Tidal dissipation, magmatism and mantle convection on Io
Intense magmatism and volcanism in Jupiter’s moon Io is driven by tidal heating. Magmatic segregation from the mantle and heat-piping across the crust exports the tidal heat to space, maintaining a thermal equilibrium. Read more
