The Earth and Environmental Sciences Department of the University of Pavia (Italy) is opening a Ph.D position on the Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) topic.
The three-years long position is completely funded by ENI and it is aimed at understanding the geochemical reactions in geological CO2 storage reservoir and seal developing models to detect and predict the changes of the storage complex affected by the presence of CO2 rich fluids ensuring the integrity of reservoir and seal when they come into contact with CO2 bearing fluids.
After having estimated the thermodynamic parameters of the specific minerals of the storage complex, they will be validated with aging experiments carried out in ENI labs. The research project will also take advantage of the results of previous and ongoing LM + internships (master’s thesis plus) carried out at ENI on the same topic.
The final objective is to provide a complete 3D model capable of describing all characteristics from reactivity to fluid dynamics, taking into account variations in petrophysical properties at the reservoir scale of a storage complex.
The official, public call will be open from 18th of November 2022 and candidates can apply following the instructions that will be available on the University of Pavia website (www.unipv.it).
The public selection will take place in the second decade of January 2023 and the successful candidate is expected to start the research activities at the beginning of February 2023.

The FLUMY program has a 18 month postdoc position available. A summary may be found below. For more detail, please contact Fabien Ors and myself.
'''Post-doc position on the modelling of turbidites (FLUMY software)'''
The FLUMY academic-industrial consortium is looking for a Postdoctoral researcher for an 18-month period to work on the modeling of reservoir in turbiditic environments. The project will focus on the impact(s) of external forcings on the resulting sedimentary architectures. The postdoctoral position will be held at Fontainebleau within the geology team (and in collaboration with the geostatistic team).
FLUMY is a process-based model for meandering channels in both fluvial and turbidites environments. FLUMY combines first-order hydraulic equations to track the evolution of meandering channels and realistically builds associated sediment accumulations. FLUMY generates 3D reservoir models following user-defined multi-sequences scenario, which can be conditioned to existing subsurface datasets (well or seismic data). Recent developments include (i) new conditioning techniques, (ii) the transposition from fluvial to turbidite environment and (iii) a more detailed description of abandoned channels fill architecture.

The Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Department of Forest Sciences, Chair of Site Ecology and Plant Nutrition offers a PhD position starting December 1, 2023 at TU Dresden (Germany). The position is within an interdisciplinary project funded by the Forest Climate Fund (Agency of Renewable Resources), which aims to develop silvicultural recommendations for a transition towards climate change adapted forests. Understanding the site-specific soil water balance in forest stands is key for assessing forests’ vulnerability to climate change (e.g. prolonged drought periods, storm risks). The development of forest conversion concepts and the associated promotion of climate change-adapted mixed forest ecosystems represents a significant contribution to various aspects of sustainable forestry and bioeconomy.
