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.
