Fully funded PhD Studentship: Global Importance of Sea Ice and Snow on
Greenhouse Gas Composition and Atmospheric chemistry
This studentship is part of a 5-year research project funded by the
European Research Council (ERC). In this studentship, the UK community
atmospheric chemistry-aerosol global model UKCA will be used, coupled
to an ocean and sea ice model. Based on the results of
other parts of the ERC project, the production of gases in the ocean,
snow and sea ice and their exchange with the atmosphere will be
included in UKCA in collaboration with the Met Office and U
Cambridge. The goal is to provide a global assessment of the past,
present and future roles of sea ice for the composition and chemistry
of the atmosphere in polar regions with a focus on the greenhouse
gases CO2, CH4 and O3 which act on very different
timescales. Furthermore, the role of snow photochemistry (polar and
continental) on global atmospheric composition will be quantified.
Some background knowledge of atmospheric chemistry, snow
photochemistry and/or the Arctic climate system is desirable. This
project is an exciting opportunity for a highly motivated student with
a first degree in a relevant field in physical sciences (including
atmospheric sciences, meteorology, oceanography, physics, chemistry)
and ideally a background in numerical modelling.
3.5 years of funding (stipend and fees) for UK/EU applicants;
Application deadline 31 March 2015, Start: 01 Oct 2015. Further
details and application form: http://tinyurl.com/npq64cm
Please contact Prof Roland von Glasow (R.von-Glasow@uea.ac.uk) for
further information and informal discussions.

Greetings from the South Central Climate Science Center!
We are pleased to announce that we will be offering a summer
undergraduate internship opportunity in 2015 for students of
underrepresented minorities interested in science, technology,
engineering and mathematics fields (for example, agricultural science,
economics, environmental engineering). Applicants must come from
Arkansas, Kansas, Louisiana, New Mexico, Oklahoma, or Texas. Interns
will be involved in hands-on activities related to climate research
that will allow them to see the direct impacts of climate variability
and change on forest ecosystems in Oklahoma, coastal areas in
Louisiana, and the Texas Hill Country. Internship participants will
travel across the South Central United States to visit university
campuses and field locations and interact with faculty conducting
cutting edge research.
The internship will take place from Sunday, May 31, 2015 to Saturday,
June 20, 2015. Interns will spend one week with the University of
Oklahoma and Oklahoma State University, one week with Louisiana State
University, and one week with Texas Tech University. All meals,
lodging and travel will be provided during the three-week period. In
addition, interns will receive a $200/week stipend for the duration of
the program. The program will not cover local travel between the
participant's home to their closest airport, personal equipment
(clothing, cameras, etc.), or other personal expenses.
A sample of the 2014 itinerary is available here:
<http://www.southcentralclimate.org/content/documents/2014CSCUndergrad.pdf>
A video about the internship produced by participants in the 2014
experience is available here:
<https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ShN9yawAWAs>
The deadline to apply is 5:00 PM Central Time on Friday, March 20, 2015.
For eligibility requirements and to access the application form,
please see: <http://goo.gl/ifHV35>
The South Central Climate Science Center is committed to encouraging
diversity in the sciences. Please encourage your scientifically minded
students to apply for this unique opportunity to experience climate
research hands-on.
Established in 2012 by the Department of Interior, the South Central
Climate Science Center provides decision makers with the science,
tools, and information they need to address the impacts of climate
variability and change on their areas of responsibility. The Center
supports big thinking, including multi-institutional and
stakeholder-driven approaches to climate variability, change, impacts,
mitigation, and adaptation research.

The Canadian Sea Ice and Snow Evolution (CanSISE) Network
<http://www.CanSISE.ca>
The Canadian Sea Ice and Snow Evolution (CanSISE) Network is an
NSERC-funded 5-year collaborative partnership between researchers from
eight Canadian universities (Toronto, York, McGill, Victoria, Guelph,
Waterloo, UBC, UNBC) and three partner organizations (the Climate
Research Division of Environment Canada, the Canadian Ice Service, and
the Pacific Climate Impacts Consortium). To a unique degree, CanSISE is
bringing together University and government researchers with climate
modelling and observational expertise. The CanSISE Network seeks to
advance seasonal to multidecadal prediction of Arctic sea ice and snow
in Canada?s sub-Arctic, alpine, and seasonally snow covered regions. It
will also quantify and exploit, for prediction purposes, the role that
Northern Hemisphere snow and sea ice processes play in climate
variability and change. CanSISE activities are organized into three
theme areas, including a) seasonal to multi-decadal snow and sea-ice
prediction and projection, b) attributing change in snow and sea-ice,
and understanding its impacts, and c) improving our understanding of
snow and sea ice processes and climate interactions. CanSISE funding
over the period 2013-2018 will provide opportunities for up to 10
undergraduate internships, 12 graduate studentships at the PhD level, 20
postdoctoral fellowships, 2 research associates and a research
assistant. For more information about the network, and network
employment opportunities at all levels, please visit the CanSISE website
at www.CanSISE.ca <http://www.CanSISE.ca>.
