Subject: [Met-jobs] CASE Ph.D. Studentship in ocean biogeochemistry at
the University of Oxford and Met Office
Message-ID: <F096D781-CAED-40B2-A77C-BC6B9125A682@earth.ox.ac.uk>

NERC Industrial CASE Ph.D. Studentship in the Department of Earth Sciences and Mathematical Institute, University of Oxford; the UK Met Office; and National
Oceanography Centre, Southampton
Title: Ocean Biogeochemical Optimisation in ESMs (OBOE)
Supervisors: Profs. Samar Khatiwala (Earth Sciences) and Coralia Cartis (Maths), University of Oxford; Prof. Colin Jones, NERC/Met Office; Drs. Andrew Yool and
Adrian Martin, NOCS
Start date: October 2016
As one of the principal reservoirs of CO2, the ocean plays a crucial role in the carbon cycle and in regulating Earth's climate. Understanding and modelling
the interconnections between the ocean carbon cycle and climate is therefore critical for robust estimates of future climate change. A principal challenge in
this regard is the absence of well-established sets of equations governing the behavior of marine ecosystems, which play a key role in ocean carbon dynamics.
Consequently, fundamental processes, such as the formation and sinking of organic matter from the surface into the ocean interior are crudely parameterised.
Improving the representation of these processes in global ocean biogeochemical models, embedded within Earth System Models (ESMs) used to project future
climate change, is thus an important goal of current research and of this project in particular. Specifically, we seek to evaluate and improve the performance of
MEDUSA (Model of Ecosystem Dynamics, nutrient Utilisation, Sequestration and Acidification), the ocean biogeochemical model in the next generation Met Office/
NERC Earth system model (UKESM), currently under development. MEDUSA models the interaction between macro- and micro-nutrients, phytoplankton and carbon,
representing these processes through a range of parameterisations that include a number of key uncertain parameters. We seek to improve the underlying formulation
of these parameters to better represent available observational constraints.
To achieve this a number of challenges need to be addressed. First, because of the complex interaction between biogeochemistry and circulation, model sensitivities
vary both in space and time, as well as with respect to the model field (e.g., nutrients v primary production). Second, evaluating the performance of global
models is prohibitively expensive as every parameter change requires integrating the model for several thousand simulated years to equilibrium before the model can
be compared with observations. As a result there have been very few attempts at systematically optimising the performance of models such as MEDUSA. To overcome
this, the student will exploit a fast "offline" tracer simulation scheme and recently-developed mathematical optimisation techniques to optimise MEDUSA, a first for a
global biogeochemical model of this complexity, especially one used in a state-of-the-art ESM.
Key outcomes of this project include (1) an estimate of MEDUSA's sensitivity to various parameters and thus the relative importance of key processes that affect the
strength of the biological carbon pump; (2) an optimal set of parameters that minimizes the model-observation cost function built on several fields; and (3) a quantitative
assessment of the impact of parameter optimisation on key aspects of UKESM1-projected Earth system change, such as global climate sensitivity, marine carbon uptake and
the resulting biogeochemical state of the deep ocean.
This project brings together ocean biogeochemists, a mathematician and an Earth system modeller and the student will benefit from working actively with scientists from
several disciplines, including the UKESM model development core group. S/he will receive training in not only marine biogeochemical and Earth system modelling, but
also in high performance computing, numerical analysis and mathematical optimisation techniques with broad applicability in science and engineering. The student will
be affiliated with Oxford's NERC-funded Environmental Science Doctoral Training Partnership (DTP) in Environmental Research and will thus benefit from courses offered
through the DTP as well as the Mathematical Institute.
Eligibility: UK/EU students with a good (2.1 or higher, or its equivalent) first degree in the natural sciences, maths or engineering and strong computing skills are
encouraged to apply.
Application process: To apply follow the instructions at http://www.earth.ox.ac.uk/graduate_admissions. Informal inquiries may be directed to: Samar Khatiwala

We are looking for highly motivated students to investigate greenhouse
gas emissions in Southeastern Florida grasslands within the framework of
a USDA project. Multiple topics are available and can further be
determined by discussion of the candidate with the principal
investigators of the project:
1) Field measurements of greenhouse gas emissions (carbon dioxide,
nitrous oxide) in order to understand emission responses to management
practices and to climate variability and change
2) Laboratory experiments to track microbial greenhouse gas production
in response to warming and rainfall variability
3) Field and lab measurements of microbial community carbon consumption
and enzyme expression
4) Development and application of numerical models that quantify
microbial production of greenhouse gases under global change factors.
The work is highly collaborative, and we seek students who have interest
and motivation to shape a thesis that cuts across these broad themes and
investigation techniques.
Students will enroll in the Soil and Water Science Program, with tuition
waver and assistantship. Positions begin in August 2016. If this sparked
your interest, we are looking forward answer further question and/or
receive your application. Instructions on how to apply can be found on
