Prof P J Valdes, Dr Fanny Monteiro No more applications being accepted Funded PhD Project (European/UK Students Only)

About the Project

The project will use a newly developed, very high resolution regional model (MIT model) to simulate the region. The model will be run at 1o and 0.1o resolution which will be ground breaking research. At 0.1o , the model will be able to simulate oceanic eddies and boundary currents which play a major role in the transport of heat and nutrients from equator to pole. We anticipate that the first stage of the research will focus on the physical climate system, and subsequent work will focus on the consequences for the biogeochemical cycles within the region. All model simulations will also be compared to the geological evidence for the region.

Funding Notes

The Great Western Four+ Doctoral Training Partnership (GW4+ DTP) provide a multidisciplinary training environment for postgraduate students in NERC sciences. Owing to the nature of the funding, this programme is open to UK/EU students only. The ideal candidate should be interested in the oceans and atmosphere, and the mechanisms of change particularly for the past. The project will require considerable computer modelling work so the student should have an aptitude and desire for computer based work and theoretical thinking. The student will spend 1 month visiting MIT in the first year.
