We are recruiting two graduate students at Arizona State University to work with Profs. Chelsea Scott, Ramon Arrowsmith, and Jnaneshwar Das starting in Fall 2025:
'''Fault displacement hazard:''' This PhD project has the broad goal of enhancing our ability to anticipate key characteristics of a tectonic fault rupture– such as the location, width and the associated uncertainties– before the earthquake occurs. Achieving this goal requires deepening our understanding of fault mechanics in the shallow crust and improving our interpretation of the landscape to learn about past earthquakes. The core project will focus on analyzing the natural, or aleatoric, variability in rupture location through a quantitative and systematized analysis of hundreds of paleoseismic trenches and nearby tectonic landforms. The project will involve extensive paleoseismic trench analysis, quantitative methodologies, scientific publication writing and collaboration with industry geologists. We seek candidates with a strong background in geology (course work in structural geology and/or geomorphology), math (statistics, multivariate calculus and/or linear algebra) and experience with coding in Matlab or Python.
'''Fragile geologic features:''' This PhD project has the broad goal of assessing unexceeded ground motions in an area by developing understanding about fragile geologic features, in particular precariously balanced rocks. This understanding includes the geomorphic processes controlling the evolution of their fragility, thus informing the context for their use in seismic hazard studies. The core project will focus on producing and analyzing PBR inventories in the southern Sierra Nevada of California, testing models for their formation following glacial ice retreat, and using them to refine hazard estimates in an area without nearby fault sources. The project will involve extensive field work, deployment of robotic systems, quantitative methodologies, scientific publication writing and collaboration with industry geologists. We seek candidates with a strong background in geology (course work in geomorphology), math (statistics, multivariate calculus and/or linear algebra) and experience with coding in Matlab or Python.
Please contact Chelsea Scott (cpscott1@asu.edu), Ramon Arrowsmith (ramon.arrowsmith@asu.edu) or Jnaneshwar Das (jdas5@asu.edu) with any questions.
Graduate applications are due by Dec 1, 2024. Please apply here (https://sese.asu.edu/admission/graduate-admission).
A modest number of waivers for application fees are likely to be available on a first-come, first served basis.
Looking forward to hearing from you. <br>

'''Location:''' Paris, France
'''Contacts:''' Clément NARTEAU (narteau@ipgp.fr) & Laurie BARRIER (barrier@ipgp.fr)
'''Required education:''' PhD in Earth sciences, Atmospheric sciences, Physics, or similar fields.
'''Position description:''' IPGP invites applications for a postdoctoral research position. Appointment start date no later than July 1, 2023, and the appointment is for 18 months.
'''Funding by:''' UnivEarthS LabEx of Université Paris Cité (https://u-paris.fr/en/laboratories-of-excellence/ and https://www.univearths.fr/en/home/)
'''How to apply:''' Please contact Dr. Clément Narteau (narteau@ipgp.fr) & Laurie BARRIER (barrier@ipgp.fr) with “AEOLAND Postdoc application” in the subject line. Include a CV with a short research statement summarizing research experience. Application review will begin immediately and will be reviewed on a rolling basis until the position is filled.
Aeolian research is based on two main themes, dust and dunes, which are closely linked by transport laws derived from the physics of wind-blown particles. Nevertheless, as the time scales of dust emissions are many orders of magnitude shorter than those associated with dune field dynamics, the agreement between the corresponding transport properties remains poorly quantified. The objective of the AEOLAND project is to combine information on aeolian transport processes at different space and time scales (from 101 to 106 meters and years) to converge on consistent scenarios for sand and dust exchanges on continental surfaces, but also with the atmosphere. Such a transdisciplinary research approach aims to bridge the gaps between atmospheric dust (Laurent et al., 2005), dunes and aeolian landscape dynamics (Chanteloube et al., 2022). We propose to perform regional mass balances estimated from morpho-sedimentary markers to develop consistent scenarios for dust emissions and sand fluxes over large space and time scales that integrate the variability of meteorological events. These scenarios will be tested and parameterized at small scales against field observations and climate reanalysis outputs, so that they can be extrapolated over a wide range of intermediate scales on Earth and other planetary bodies.
The postdoc will integrate into an exciting team of researchers from two academic institutions (IPGP and LISA). The funding comes from the UnivEarthS LabEx program of Université Paris Cité, which is designed to set up a unique high-level teaching and training platform in the sciences of the Universe including comparative planetary research. The postdoc will lead two major efforts of the AEOLAND project: (1) the quantification of the impact of aeolian processes on arid environments from transport and morpho-sedimentary analyses at time scales ranging from those of dune systems (>102 yr) to that of landscapes (>104 yr), and (2) the cross-calibration the sand and dust transporting events over a wide range of time scales (101 s - 101 yr) using observations and numerical data. The postdoc will also engage in linking these two aspects, which is the cornerstone of the project, in order to promote this interdisciplinary research approach over the long term.
Ideally, the applicant should have: (i) a background in transport processes; (ii) experience in computer programing (Python, Matlab); (iii) independent research and teamwork skills; and (iv) communication skills. Priority will be also given to applicants with experience in any one, or a combination of, the following topics: expert knowledge of statistical analysis of geospatial and/or meteorological data; modeling of surface processes with geomorphic transport laws; application or development of remote sensing data and processing for Earth and/or atmospheric research; field-based data collection linked to surface processes; sediment transport, desert landscape and/or dune dynamics.

We are seeking a PhD student for the following (newly funded) project: '''FROM FLAMES TO FISH: DEVELOPMENT OF A REPRODUCIBLE MODEL OF CO-MANAGEMENT FOR WILDFIRE AND AQUATIC SPECIES AT ZENA CREEK RANCH, IDAHO.'''
Objectives: We propose a place-based partnership at Zena Creek, Idaho, that addresses the following question: 1) How can the dual needs of fire and aquatic species management be achieved through the development of new model-based tools, and on-the-ground design of wetland and Beaver Dam Analog (BDA) structures, while concurrently strengthening partnerships among scientists, managers, tribal agencies and local land-owners? A key component of this study is that data collection and treatment design will be undertaken by the next generation of scientists from Boise State University, The College of Idaho, and the Nez Perce tribe as part of the summer Zena Creek field school. Land managers and scientists from federal agencies, the private sector, and academia will train students via boots-on-the-ground design and field data collection.
