Geophysics

EPSRC DTP - Mechanical failure mechanisms at high pressure

The University of Manchester

About the Project The occurrence of earthquakes with hypocenters deeper than 60 km was recognised very early in the history of seismology. These deep earthquakes make up∼25 % of all earthquakes, are exclusively associated with convergent plate boundaries and locate within, or very close to, thcold subducting oceanic lithosphere.

Location: Manchester, United Kingdom, United Kingdom
Deadline: Year-round applications
Funding: Funded PhD Project (UK Students Only)

Geophysics

Prioritisation and quantification in volcanic tsunami risk

University of Birmingham

About the Project Volcanic tsunamis remain a relatively under-recognised volcanic hazard, yet they can have extreme impacts. Part of the challenge of managing and planning for volcanic tsunami hazards lies in their diversity of mechanisms, unpredictable timing and magnitude, and complex relationships with magmatic eruptions and current monitoring techniques.
