*PhD Studentship at the University of Edinburgh: Megacities and
atmospheric chemistry*
*Start date*: March 2014 or before.
This PhD studentship will focus on understanding the links between
emissions, atmospheric transport and chemistry on determining
atmospheric composition over and downwind of a megacity. The United
Nations define a megacity as a metropolitan area with a total population
in excess of ten million people. Megacities often result in challenging
chemical environments to study because of the mix of biogenic,
anthropogenic, and pyrogenic gases and aerosol, which is typically a
result of urban areas progressively encroaching on natural ecosystems.
We will likely focus on a Megacity within India or Brazil, drawing on
ongoing activities with colleagues in those countries.
The main study tools will be the GEOS-Chem atmospheric chemistry
transport model and its adjoint, which are ongoing activities within the
associated research community. We will initially focus on using data
available from the European MetOp satellites. The student will focus on
the mobile, industrial, and energy sectors that are directly related to
rapid urbanization.
Research questions include: What controls the observed variability of
ozone over a megacity and its surrounding region? What atmospheric modes
of variability can be reliably observed by the space-borne data? Based
on our current understanding of sectoral emissions what are the most
effective mitigation strategies to control air quality?
The successful candidate will join an active research group who study
the troposphere using models, data, and theory: www.palmergroup.org.

The PhD is funded by the NERC National Centre for Earth Observation.
Stipend and fees are only available to UK citizens; and citizens of EU
member states are only eligible for fees. See

Earth observation provides a unique perspective of our planet and, especially when combined with data from in situ sensors and models, is a powerful tool for observing and understanding our environment. Created in 2008, the NERC National Centre for Earth Observation (NCEO) undertakes a world class programme of strategic research to improve our understanding of how the planet works and to enable better predictions of how the environment will change. NCEO is one of the Natural Environment Research Council's (NERC) six research centres; these centres sustain national capability in NERC's core science disciplines and facilitate research in the wider community.
NERC is looking for a new Director with a vision to lead the next phase of NCEO and develop a high impact portfolio of research that will address long-term Science Grand Challenges and provide the key science infrastructure needed to deliver NERC's strategic objectives.
Please see http://www.nerc.ac.uk/nceodirector/ for details.
