Department of Geography, National University of Singapore
TWO ASSISTANT PROFESSOR APPOINTMENTS IN PHYSICAL GEOGRAPHY
The Department of Geography at the National University of Singapore is
seeking to add two physical geographers to its Tropical Environmental
Change research group
(<http://www.fas.nus.edu.sg/geog/research/tec.html>). The appointments
will be made at the level of tenure-track Assistant Professor. The
appointees will contribute to teaching, research and administrative
duties.The broad focus of the Tropical Environmental Change research
group is temporal and spatial interactions of climate, water and
landscapes at low latitudes, particularly in the Asia-Pacific Region.
This focus takes advantage of our physical location in Asia and
recognizes the many contributions that physical geographers routinely
make in improving understanding of tropical environmental processes and
their importance to global change, as well as the physiographic
consequences of rapid development, land-cover transformation, and
climate variability. Successful applicants will also have the
opportunity to pursue emerging interdisciplinary research within the
Department and University.
Candidates with research emphasis on hydrology, geology, biogeochemical
cycles, climate science, oceanic processes, or tropical environments in
general are particularly encouraged to apply. Strong skills in GIS,
remote sensing, environmental modelling, and/or geochemical analytical
analysis would be an advantage. Research interests in the Asia Region
are also desirable. All applicants should have an established research
profile in line with that expected for one of the top universities in
the world. Applicants should also be prepared to contribute to
co-advising and teaching courses at the Master?s and PhD level, as well
as conduct and develop physical geography courses in support of NUS
Geography?s undergraduate major and minor programs. Applications should
include a brief curriculum vitae (10 page max), and a concise, 1-2 page
letter with the following items addressed: (1) research interests and
teaching philosophy;
(2) explanation of prior teaching experience; and (3) contact details of
4 references.
Please provide teaching evaluations if available.
Only short-listed candidates will be notified.
For further information, please contact Professor David Taylor, Chair,
Tropical Environmental
Research Group (EMAIL: DAVID.TAYLOR@NUS.EDU.SG
<mailto:DAVID.TAYLOR@NUS.EDU.SG>).
Deadline for application: 31 October 2014.
Please send your application to:
Chair, Physical Geography Search Committee c/o Ms Wong Lai Wa Department

Closing the energy cycle in global ocean models
Dr Andreas Klocker, Dr Maxim Nikurashin, Dr Terence O'Kane, Prof David Marshall
Contact: andreas.klocker@utas.edu.au<mailto:andreas.klocker@utas.edu.au>
Turbulent mixing by ocean eddies and small-scale turbulence plays an important role in climate by controlling the rate at which heat, CO2, and other tracers are absorbed and stored in the ocean. Thus, the inclusion of the effects due to turbulent mixing in global climate models, either explicitly or as parameterisations, is necessary for accurate forecasts of future climates. To develop such parameterisations it is necessary to construct an ocean model with a closed energy cycle, so that the energy available for mixing in the ocean is only controlled by the external energy input from the atmosphere and the tidal system and by internal exchanges. Currently none of the global climate models used for climate forecasts uses such a closed energy cycle, and many parts of this energy cycle remain poorly understood. This project aims at improving our understanding of this energy cycle and it's implementation in a global ocean model.
Quantifying the key physical processes responsible for ocean warming under Antarctic ice shelves
Dr Andreas Klocker, Dr Ben Galton-Fenzi, Dr Guy Williams, Prof Nathan Bindoff, Dr Michael Dinniman
Contact: andreas.klocker@utas.edu.au<mailto:andreas.klocker@utas.edu.au>
Preparing for the impacts of sea-level rise requires an improved understanding of the response of the Antarctic Ice Sheet to changing ocean conditions. Over the last decade it is suggested that more ocean driven melting beneath ice shelves is causing the Antarctic Ice Sheet to lose ice at an increasing rate, contributing to sea-level rise. Nevertheless, very little is known about the key physical processes which allow warm water from the Antarctic Circumpolar Current to cross the Antarctic Slope Front and reach Antarctic ice shelves. This project will focus on identifying these key processes using a state-of-the-art numerical ocean model and available observations. The outcome of this project will be better predictions of the future evolution of the Antarctic ice sheet and consequently sea-level rise.
Elephant seals as Antarctic oceanographers
