I am recruiting a PhD student at GFZ-Potsdam for an exciting project focusing on why and how marine terraces are created and preserved in tectonically active coastal landscapes with a focus on Japan. These terraces are particularly important to constrain the risk in earthquake-prone areas yet we still understand little about the mechanisms and settings that control their geometry, presence, or absence. More details about the project are listed below.
There is no application deadline for the position yet as we gather expressions of interest but we expect a start in Spring 2024 at the latest (ideally). Please get in touch (malatest@gfz-potsdam.de) if you would like to know more about the project.
I will be attending AGU this December if you would like to meet. I will also be working in the Tokyo, Kyoto, and Sendai area in November and December.
Best wishes,
Luca
'''The Temari project (手毬''': Tectonic and wave controls on the generation and preservation of marine terraces) is funded by the German Science Foundation and led by Luca Malatesta at GFZ Potsdam and Sumiko Tsukamoto at LIAG Hannover. Shigeru Sueoka at JAEA, and Yuki Matsushi at Kyoto University complete the team. The PhD candidate will be based at GFZ Potsdam, in the section Earth Surface Process Modelling (https://www.gfz-potsdam.de/en/staff/luca.malatesta/sec47).
'''Wave-cut marine terraces — platforms carved by wave erosion and displaced by crustal deformation — have long been a focus of geomorphological studies as recorders of past sea level and rock uplift'''. Along tectonically active coastlines, they record the rate of rock uplift. They can be crucial to decipher crustal deformation over multiple earthquake cycles and constrain the associated seismic hazard. Yet, the environmental controls on their creation and preservation remain relatively poorly known and the models proposed for their creation have been insufficiently tested.
'''The objective of the Temari project is to identify and quantify which environmental conditions (i.e., rock uplift, wave power, lithology, etc.) promote or hinder the creation and preservation of marine terraces'''. The field sites for the project are the Noto Peninsula and the Island of Sado on the NW shore of Japan. This will lead to a much richer understanding and analysis of coastal topography for tectonic studies with the extraction of information not only from the elevation of marine terraces and their simple presence, but also from their width, succession patterns, and the information conveyed by their absence.
'''We are looking for a motivated and curious PhD candidate to research marine terraces with a mix of field work, GIS analysis, and numerical modeling.'''

I am recruiting a PhD student at Louisiana State University to work on an exciting interdisciplinary project that focuses on the evolution and sustainability of the Bird’s foot delta of the Mississippi River. The Mississippi River Delta Transition Initiative (MissDelta) concept was developed by the Gulf Research Program (GRP) of National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine (NASEM) to address the critical geologic, anthropogenic, and ecological impacts of a deteriorating deltafront, and to chart a future course for this globally critical landmass.
My lab’s research focuses on ecomorphodynamics, namely the organic and inorganic accumulation, geotechnical properties, and elevation dynamics of wetland platforms across vegetation types. For this project, we’ll be investigating regions of Phragmites dieback, crevasses, dredge spoil, and healthy marsh (Phragmites, Typha, Colocasia) in the Bird’s Foot/Balize delta.
The findings will be used with co-production partners that span academia and government agencies (e.g., Tulane, Southern, Xavier, Jackson State, ULL, LUMCON, USACE, CPRA, USGS) to develop best management practices for wetland vegetation and land building, and will be related to longer-term vegetation dynamics in the delta as well as for predictive models.
Students with field and lab experience and an overall enthusiasm for understanding geomorphic processes are encouraged to apply. MS preferred, but not required. Students from underserved communities are highly encouraged to apply.
Feel free to contact me for more information.

I am recruiting graduate students to join the 'Surface Processes and Active Tectonics' group at Louisiana State University for the fall of 2020.
Funded PhD Position:
I have NSF funding to support a PhD student as part of a project investigating the history of and processes important for drainage network reorganization in the Tibetan Plateau. The project will involve using landscape evolution models to isolate important controls on drainage network reorganization in tectonically active regions, like the Himalaya and Tibetan Plateau, and integration of available structural and thermochronologic data into these models to test predictions of tectonic models for the development of the internally drained portion of the Tibetan plateau. The project is in collaboration with Mike Taylor at the University of Kansas and Drew Laskowski at Montana State University.
MS Position:
I am also recruiting for a MS student to work on projects related to understanding the controls that landscape evolution have on detrital records (e.g. U-Pb ages of detrital zircons populations or detrital thermochronology).
Either position is ideal for students with an interest in geomorphology and tectonics and a desire to learn coding and numerical methods.
Please contact me if you're interested in either position and/or pass on to potentially interested students.

I am recruiting graduate students to join our research team at Tulane (New Orleans, LA, USA). We are a diverse group of researchers at all levels - undergrads, grad students, post-docs, & well-seasoned person (me) - who are excited about studying surface processes and the movement of water at many scales. We also value our health, and regularly participate in K12 outreach and activities that promote inclusion.
'''Two graduate student opportunities:'''<br>
* NSF funding to support a PhD student interested in source-to-sink sediment routing. We will use watersheds and deltas in Northeastern Italy to explore the processes controlling whether climatically and tectonically driven erosion gets recorded as a "signal" in the sink, and if such a signal exists, how do we interpret it. The field area will serve as motivation for building process components in Landlab, a python library for modeling earth surface processes. The student should be interested in coding and numerical modeling, as well as field work and DEM analysis. The student would be co-advised by Gasparini and Nathan Lyons at Tulane, and be part of a broader team that includes Frank Pazzaglia (Lehigh) and Tammy Rittenour (Utah State).
* National Park Service funding to support an MS student interested in swamp hydrology. We will be working in Jean Lafitte park (close to New Orleans) to quantify how human landuse change has impacted surface and subsurface water movement, with an aim to better manage the park in the face of climate change and subsidence. We will work closely with Julie Whitbeck, an ecologist at the park.
'''Students can also get involved in field work and research related to other ongoing projects:'''
* quantifying how rock properties affect landscape evolution in the Guadalupe Mountain in New Mexico
* quantifying links among weathering rate, grain size delivered to fluvial channels, and fluvial incision rates in the Rio Blanco, Puerto Rico
* quantifying the impact on hurricanes on erosion in Puerto Rico
Ideally both students would start in January 2020, but mostly I'm looking for students who will enjoy working with our team and contributing to these projects.
