The doctoral student will address the development and refinement of
novel scientific algorithms for the retrieval of aerosol and trace gases
from measurements
of the MAX-DOAS spectrometer at the Environmental Research Station
Schneefernerhaus.
The work is carried out in close cooperation with national and
international partners. We offer an excellent research environment,
and provide the opportunity to collaborate with leading scientists in
the field of ground- and satellite-based atmospheric remote sensing.

PhD studentship: Atmospheric radiocarbon measurements to study the UK?s fossil fuel emissions?
Supervisors:?
Prof. Simon O?Doherty (University of Bristol)
Dr. Matt Rigby (University of Bristol)
Dr. Heather Graven (Imperial College London)
Website:
https://www.bris.ac.uk/gw4plusdtp/projects
Details:
The emissions of CO2 from fossil fuel combustion are the primary cause of climate change and the target of mitigation policies such as the UK?s 2008 Climate Change Act. CO2 emissions are presently calculated using only accounting techniques, but it is possible that atmospheric measurements could provide an alternate method for estimating emissions.?
The net exchange of CO2 between the land or ocean surface and the atmosphere encompasses a complex mixture of both anthropogenic sources and natural sources and sinks, making fossil fuel emissions difficult to distinguish from other influences. Measurements of radiocarbon (14C, a heavy, unstable isotope of carbon) in atmospheric CO2 may, however, provide valuable clues about the magnitude of the UK?s man-made emissions. This is because fossil fuels, having been buried beneath the ground for many millions of years, do not contain 14C. Dilution of atmospheric 14C by fossil fuels can therefore be used as a tracer of anthropogenic activity. When combined with models of atmospheric chemistry and transport, 14C-CO2 measurements have the potential to be useful for determining the magnitude of the UK?s fossil fuel CO2 emissions.
In this project, you will develop experimental facilities and methods for high precision measurements of radiocarbon in CO2 collected from various sampling sites around the UK at the new state-of-the-art Accelerator Mass Spectrometer facility at the University of Bristol. You will also work with the Met Office to develop atmospheric modelling techniques to estimate CO2 emissions using 14C observations and new statistical techniques.
We are seeking an outstanding, highly motivated student with a very strong background in physical sciences who is keen to develop both an experimental and theoretical dimension to their work. The project will be supervised by Prof. Simon O?Doherty (Bristol), Dr. Matt Rigby (Bristol) and Dr Heather Graven (Imperial College London) and you will also work closely with Prof. Richard Evershed FRS (Bristol) and Dr Alistair Manning (UK Met Office). Funding for this project will be sought through the Natural Environment Research Council (NERC) GW4+ Doctoral Training Partnership. Please contact matt.rigby@bristol.ac.uk, s.odoherty@bristol.ac.uk and h.graven@imperial.ac.uk for further details, and in advance of any application. Formal applications should be received by 9th May 2014, although preference may be given to outstanding early applicants. Applications should be made through the GW4+ DTP website:?https://www.bris.ac.uk/gw4plusdtp/projects.

*SCRiM Summer Scholars 2014*
*a 9-week summer research opportunity at Penn State University*
*for undergraduates and early-career graduate students*
The Network for Sustainable Climate Risk Management
(SCRiM<http://scrimhub.org/>)
links a transdisciplinary team of climate scientists, economists,
philosophers, statisticians, engineers, and policy analysts to answer the
question, ?*What are sustainable, scientifically sound, technologically
feasible, economically efficient, and ethically defensible strategies for
managing the risks associated with climate change?*?
SCRiM invites undergraduates and beginning (first- and second-year)
graduate students interested in climate change, sustainability, risk
management, and/or decisionmaking under uncertainty to
propose summer research projects centered on SCRiM themes. Appropriate
projects might include modeling experiments using simple Earth system
and/or economic models, analyses of geophysical datasets (observed or
modeled), or meta-analyses based on synthesis of existing literature.
Although projects will be largely self-directed, participants will be
mentored and supported by SCRiM researchers as they develop and execute
their research agenda.
The program runs for 9 weeks, starting 2 June 2014. Housing, travel
support, and a stipend of $4500 is provided for all participants.
Students studying in the following disciplines would be well-positioned for
the program:
- Applied Mathematics
- Civil & Environmental Engineering
- Computer Science
- Economics
- Environmental Science
- Geography
- Geosciences / Geology
- Meteorology / Atmospheric Science
- Oceanography
- Operations Research
- Philosophy
- Physics
- Statistics
This is a competitive opportunity with a limited number of openings. To
apply, please send a single PDF file to
scholars@scrim.psu.edu<http://mailto:scholars@scrim.psu.edu/>
containing
a cover letter (briefly explaining your interest in the program and what
you hope to gain from the experience), a one-page research proposal, a
current CV, transcripts (unofficial acceptable), and contact information
for two references. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis
and *should
be submitted no later than Monday 28 April 2014* to receive full
consideration. Women, members of underrepresented groups, and students from
small colleges are especially encouraged to apply.
