PhD Position on Modelling the Evolution of the Larsen C Ice Shelf
Many Antarctic ice shelves have recently thinned, retreated, or disintegrated. As a result, buttressing of the grounded ice has reduced, increasing the loss of grounded ice and affecting sea level. Thus, understanding the future viability of ice shelves in a warming climate is paramount to better predict the future sea level rise. The state and evolution of the firn layer, expressed in the available pore space, and determined by changes in melt water production, percolation and refreezing, is one of the key indicators of ice shelf health and the topic of this NWO-funded project.
Your job
As a fully-funded four-year PhD candidate, you will study the evolution of the firn layer of the Larsen C ice shelf, Antarctica, using a combination of observations and models. You will use the IMAU firn densification model forced by high resolution output from the regional climate model RACMO to simulate the evolution of the Larsen C firn layer in the recent past (1950 to present) and into the future (up to 2100) based on different climate scenarios.

PhD Position on Climate Dynamics
Join the IMAU and research the interactions between the Atlantic ocean circulation and the Amazon Rainforest.
Your job
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and the Amazon rainforest play important roles in the Earth’s climate system. Both of these subsystems have been marked as tipping elements and global climate change seems to push both to their tipping point. Read more.
