PhD Studentship: Winds of change - The impact of climate change on offshore wind power generation
NERC CASE PhD studentship at Loughborough University
Project Highlights:
· The UK will see a large expansion of offshore wind farms in the next 15 years;
· Climate change is likely to increase the number of extreme weather events which will have an impact on offshore wind farm loading and power output;
· This project will involve the use of state-of-the-art models, and measured data to predict the effect that future extreme events will have on offshore wind farms.
The student will be based in the Centre for Renewable Energy Systems Technology (CREST) to gain expertise in the climatological and engineering aspects of offshore wind energy. The Wind Power Research Group within CREST is part of the wider EPSRC Supergen Wind Hub who also provide training to new researchers in the wind energy arena, including long term environmental conditions. The student will gain skills in wind analysis of surface and remote sensing data and modelling of wind conditions using global and mesoscale models with a focus on future climate change impacts. They will also be enrolled into the CENTA doctoral training partnership.
This project will be in collaboration with the Offshore Renewable Energy (ORE) Catapult whose remit is to work with the offshore marine energy industry and academia to provide testing infrastructure facilities and expertise to reduce the cost of energy in the marine energy sector. CREST are already working with ORE Catapult through the Supergen Wind Hub and have an existing NERC CASE studentship with the Catapult to study the Marine Atmospheric Boundary Layer (MABL) and its impact on offshore wind farms.
This project will be a CASE award complementing the above studentship and the ORE Catapult will provide data and expertise in understanding the offshore resource and its impact on offshore wind power. The student will spend time at the ORE Catapult at Blyth as part of its developing strategy to better understand offshore met/ocean conditions.

Understanding long term climate and atmospheric composition change over Antarctica
NERC-funded PhD position at Lancaster University, with co-supervision at the British Antarctic Survey, Cambridge.
Additional project partners at NCAR, Colorado and CSIC Madrid.
Starting October 2017
————
Air bubbles trapped in the ice of the Earth's cold regions provide a unique, fascinating and long term record of atmospheric composition. Ice-core records of reactive gases are a relatively recent innovation, and potentially offer constraints on aspects of the past ~10000 years where there is little consensus (or investigation) with climate models. In this project you will work with ice core hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) data and other observations, and state-of-the-art global climate models to advance our understanding of changes in oxidising nature of the atmosphere.
Your analysis will quantify the contribution of natural and anthropogenically-forced change from Greenland and Antarctica ice cores over the last ~100-10000 years, determine the contribution of different drivers of composition change for a range of future scenarios, and define novel techniques to evaluate global models and direct their improvement.
You will be primarily based in the Lancaster Environment Centre, Lancaster University, but the project team includes scientists from the British Antarctic Survey<https://www.bas.ac.uk/> (BAS) in Cambridge, the National Center for Atmospheric Research<http://www2.ucar.edu/> (NCAR) in Boulder Colorado, and the Atmospheric Chemistry and Climate group<http://ac2.iqfr.csic.es/en/the-group/58-staff/112-alfonso-saiz-lopez-2> at CSIC Madrid. You will make several visits to BAS to understand more about collecting data and analysing change in Antarctica, and this partnership will also give you the opportunity to attend a polar field skills summer school in Svalbard, Norway. There will also be an extended visit to NCAR to work with climate modellers there.
Through working with complex climate model and observation data, you will learn scientific computing skills and get experience of big data analysis. Together with the field training and experience this project will set you up well for a range of career options in academia or beyond.
This project is part of the ENVISION Doctoral Training Partnership. See their site<http://www.envision-dtp.org/portal/projects/> for more projects for next October.

Dear colleagues,
The Environmental Change Institute (ECI) is seeking to appoint a Postdoctoral Research Assistant to join the climate research team in one of the University's highest-profile climate research operations, climateprediction.net (CPDN), as part of two collaborative projects: MaRIUS and TITAN. You will have demonstrable expertise in the analysis of climatological data and the implementation and interpretation of climate model simulations.
The particular focus of this work is to analyse the newly developed event sets of droughts and heat waves within the framework of probabilistic event attribution in the UK and look at specific extreme events in the early 20th century in Europe and the US. This includes three main tasks: (1) working with the team to help interpret and use the data sets; (2) conduct attribution studies of societal relevant extreme weather events; (3) develop ideas for new research questions and collaborative research to make use of the unique data sets.
Applicants may come from a range of backgrounds including natural sciences, engineering, statistics or applied mathematics and will have a doctorate (or near to completion) or equivalent research experience in a relevant subject. You will be able to propose and develop new theoretical approaches and implement them in computer code. You will have a background in atmospheric physics or meteorology and have very good scientific programming skills. You must be able to work collaboratively as part of a team.
This post is fixed-term until 31 December 2018 in the first instance.
The closing date for applications is 12.00 noon on Friday 6 January 2017. It is intended that interviews will be held week commencing 17 January 2017.
Further details on the position can be found at: <https://www.recruit.ox.ac.uk/pls/hrisliverecruit/erq_jobspec_version_4.jobspec?p_id=126479/>
