PhD student position in paleolimnological research announced jointly
by the Centre for Climate Change (C3) at the University Rovira i
Virgili (URV) and Aquatic Ecosystems Unit of the Institute for Food
and Agricultural Research Technology (IRTA) in Sant Carles de la
R?pita (Spain).
Topic: Reconstruction of the evolution of climate and environment of
the Ebro Delta (NE Spain)
Project description:
The Ebro Delta is an area of high ecological interest (is the second
most important wetland in Spain and one of the most important in the
Mediterranean) and very sensitive to climate change and alterations in
the river basin. Deltas are very dynamic coastal systems, where
geological processes occur at human scale and where the interaction
between biotic and abiotic elements is very intense and complex.
Therefore, the deltas are good "natural laboratories" very appropriate
to study climatic and environmental changes occurring in the past and
to make predictions about the future evolution of coastal areas
according to different scenarios of climate change and human
activities in the watershed. Through the combined study of the
geochemistry of the Ebro Delta sediments and the fossil diatoms of
these sediments, the thesis project aims to investigate past changes
(from decades to millennia) occurred in the Ebro Delta. The analysis
and interpretation of information obtained will allow establishing and
testing hypotheses about the geomorphological, ecological and climate
evolution of the Delta in order to reconstruct its past evolution;
this may also allow establishing relationships between the types of
changes as well as their interaction mechanisms. Additionally the
results on the past evolution of the delta may allow, through the
simulation of future scenarios, the estimation of the impacts of
climate change and land use changes on the geomorphologic and
ecological features of the Ebro delta.
Requirements:
The candidate has to be granted with a degree in biology, geography,
geology or environmental sciences. Experience in analysis of diatoms
and/or in statistical techniques, sediment geochemistry or climate
data series are merits but not prerequisite. The successful applicant
should be have good ability to write and speak English, good technical
skills, power of initiative, independence and ability to collaborate.
Applicants should note that the research activities will take place
both at IRTA centre in Sant Carles de la Rapita and at the URV in
Tarragona
We offer: 4-year contract within URV
Foreseen starting date: September 2011

PhD Studentship: Variability and turbulence influence in the Channel -
Bay of Biscay from a climate modeling
Abstract
The proposed project involves analyzing the climate variability of the
Channel-Bay of Biscay over the last 50 years based on a MARS3D model.
The first part of the study will evaluate the variability of the system
itself on one hand, and the climate trend (imposed by forcing) on the
other. This assessment will be made with reference to satellite and in
situ measurements, the inter-annual climatology and known mechanisms in
the study area. In a second part, the turbulence influence on the energy
balances of the dynamics of the Bay of Biscay will be examined in
simplified simulations of a 20 year period at different resolutions: are
the mean circulation and spatial variability fundamentally changed by a
better frontogenesis?
Keywords
Variability, circulation, climate, turbulence, nonlinear balance,
resolution, Bay of Biscay, modeling.
Required competence(s)
The candidate must be experienced in physical oceanography and in
numerical modelling.
Supervisors: Prof. Bach Lien Hua (http://wwz.ifremer.fr/lpo) and Dr.
Fr?d?ric Vandermeirsch (http://wwz.ifremer.fr/dyneco/)
Further details can be obtained by e-mail to
Frederic.Vandermeirsch@ifremer.fr or by post to Frederic Vandermeirsch
