Postgraduate Research: PhD Projects

I am advertising a range of PhD projects for September 2020 entry at the University of Edinburgh:

• Climate and the carbon cycle: identifying responses and impacts using satellite remote sensing and machine learning (with UC Berkeley)
• Using a global 3-D planetary model to study the atmosphere of the early Earth as an analogue for Earth-like exoplanets (with University College London)
• What is the contribution of tropical African wetlands to the atmospheric CH4 budget? (with UK Met Office)

As part of the CHAMELEON Marie Curie Interdisciplinary Training Network:

• How does lightning impact the atmospheric chemical composition of an exoplanet residing in its circumstellar habitable zone?

I am also a co-supervisor on two projects available elsewhere for September 2020 entry:

University of East Anglia: What can atmospheric measurements tell us about how the Atlantic Ocean is responding to climate change? (supervised by Professor Manning and Dr Pickers)

University of Leicester: Eyes in the sky on the volatile soup of air pollution down below (supervised by Dr Marais)

In general, mathematically able applicants are particularly encouraged to apply.

Undergraduate Research

I supervise UG projects in GeoSciences and Physics & Astronomy. I generally favour mathematically-able students. Also happy to supervise summer projects.
