QUARTILES DLA: Improving offshore renewable energy site characterisation through optimised high resolution seismic data inversion and geotechnical parameter definition
This fully funded PhD project is part of the QUARTILES Doctoral Landscape Award, a BBSRC and NERC-funded research and training programme designed to equip… Read more
PhD positions in Structural/Earthquake Engineering at the University of Auckland, New Zealand
Description. Are you passionate about cutting-edge research on designing safer, more resilient structures to withstand earthquakes? Do you want to be part of a team pushing the boundaries of Structural and Earthquake Engineering?. Read more
Comparative planetary seismology across the telluric planets
Project Background. With the successful completion of the InSight geophysical mission on Mars (e.g., Banerdt et al 2020) and plans to put new geophysical equipment on the Moon, we have entered a new era of planetary seismology. 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
The influence of the grain boundary network and grain size on seismic properties of Earth’s mantle
The geological evolution of our planet is tightly linked to deep geodynamic processes, which, themselves, are governed by the physical and chemical properties of the Earth’s mantle. Read more
Tectonics, sea-level change, and submarine landsliding in the South Caspian Basin
This project aims to determine the tectonic and sea-level history within and at the margins of the South Caspian Basin, in Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, and the timings of major shelf collapse within the basin interior. Read more
Solving mid mantle mysteries using seismology, geodynamics and mineral physics
The structure of the crust and near-surface of the Earth is relatively well known based on geological and geophysical observations, whereas seismological observations are needed to infer the deeper structure of our planet. Read more
Seismic noise sources and background seismicity in London
Local geology and seismic hazards are generally investigated through the analysis of seismic data. In urban environments, estimating back-ground seismicity and seismic imaging is complicated by high levels of anthropogenic seismic noise, i.e. Read more
Robustly imaging mantle upwellings under isolated oceanic islands
Mantle upwellings link the deep mantle to the surface and regulate Earth’s outgassing and internal temperature, which is a fundamental control on the atmosphere and our planet’s habitability. Read more
Multiparametric geophysics and geothermal resources
Geothermal fluids are rich in heat and can hold a wealth of valuable minerals. A key challenge is finding these fluid reservoirs and assessing important parameters such as porosity, permeability and conductivity. Read more
Lunar magnetism, moonquakes and mantle overturn
The Moon is enigmatic with a highly debated paleomagnetic record from Apollo samples1–4, and unusual seismic signatures from moonquakes5. Read more
Laboratory Seismology to Unravel Earth’s Mantle Structure and Composition
The Earth’s lower mantle, from 660 km to 2890 km depth, constitutes more than 60% of Earth’s volume and is the largest geochemical reservoir for many elements. Read more
High-precision seismology to understand slow earthquakes
Slow earthquakes remain one of the most important unexplained phenomena in fault mechanics. These ruptures are now routinely observed all over the world, often right next to or below large megathrust earthquakes. Read more
Earthquake and related hazards of the South Caucasus
The South Caucasus (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Turkiye) is a region prone to earthquake and related hazards, with an abundant record of earthquakes (e.g. Read more
Blind source separation in seismology: exploiting small-amplitude shaking to track ocean waves or subsurface structure
The surface of the Earth moves nearly continuously. It is shaken by wind, ocean waves, meteor impacts, earthquakes, cars, and trains, among other sources. Read more
