I’m recruiting MSc and PhD students (and postdocs – see below) who are interested in surface processes and palaeoclimate, to work with me at the Department of Earth, Ocean and Atmospheric Sciences (EOAS) at the University of British Columbia (UBC) in Vancouver, Canada.
I’m a geologist/geomorphologist, and my research focuses on how climate change affects landscapes, surface processes, and terrestrial sediments. You can find out more about me here (https://www.eoas.ubc.ca/people/mitchdarcy).
Start dates are flexible and various funding options are possible, including 4-year PhD scholarships that cover tuition. Funding is in place for field work, lab work, and international conference attendance.
I’m looking for students who are enthusiastic about geomorphology and curious about Earth’s climate and history. Some geological or geomorphological experience in the field is valuable because projects will typically involve field data collection and mapping. An interest in chemistry or remote sensing is advantageous, but not essential.
Projects could involve field work, geochronology, geochemistry, remote sensing and GIS, and/or modelling depending on what the student finds exciting and interesting. I have specific project ideas ready to go, involving topics such as:
* Orbital climate changes and their effects on erosion and sedimentation
* Recovering palaeoclimate signals from alluvial sediments
* Rapid climate changes in Earth’s history, and the responses of large source-to-sink systems
* Weathering processes over 1-100 kyr timescales
* Late Quaternary climate dynamics in North America and South America
