We are advertising a PhD position in landslide-flood interactions in the Himalaya through the IAPETUS DTP programme at Durham University, UK. The project will combine large-scale inventories of landslide locations with AI-based river sediment mapping from satellite imagery, topographic analysis of valley floor geometry, and reach-scale models of sediment transport to determine under what conditions landslide-derived sediment is mobilised through catchments, and how landslide-flood interactions impact channel geometry and stability in mountain regions. The project will be supervised by Fiona Clubb, Lizzie Dingle, and Rebecca Hodge (Durham), and David Milledge (Newcastle).
How to apply: interested candidates can find out more information here: https://iapetus2.ac.uk/studentships/landslide-flood-interactions-in-the-himalayan-mountain-range-in-a-warming-climate/
Application deadline is 3rd January 2025. International candidates are considered but the IAPETUS scheme puts a cap on the number of international applications, so international candidates should get in touch as soon as possible to discuss their application: fiona.j.clubb@durham.ac.uk
