*********************************************************************************** PhD and Masters Scholarships at Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand to study magma movement and time varying seismic properties From: Martha Savage <Martha.Savage@xxxxxxxxx> *********************************************************************************** Victoria University of Wellington, New Zealand PhD and Masters Scholarships to study magma movement and time varying seismic properties We have just been awarded a three-year grant to study time varying seismic properties related to volcanic areas in New Zealand and several other volcanoes worldwide, including Japan, the U.S. and several island volcanoes. This project will develop new methods of monitoring volcanoes using novel sources of seismic energy: repeated explosions, repeating earthquakes and the Earth's background hum. By relating spatial and temporal changes in seismic wave properties to other indicators of stress around volcanoes and quantitatively modeling these changes, we will extend our understanding of how volcanoes work and lead the drive towards predictive monitoring tools. One PhD and two MSc scholarships are available for this work, starting as soon as possible after 1 Feb. 2010. MSc students from New Zealand, Australia, and the Cook Islands, may attend Victoria by paying the local residents rate, which will be included as part of the stipend. All other MSc students must pay additional foreign fees unless supported by a separate scholarship. PhD students from any country only need to pay local residents' fees. Further details are available upon request. If you are interested in these projects, please send a CV, transcripts and the names of three people whom we could contact for references to Professor Martha Savage, martha.savage@xxxxxxxxxx Applications will be considered after Dec. 1. Please indicate if you will be going to the AGU meeting in San Francisco this year. ============================================================== To unsubscribe from the volcano list, send the message: signoff volcano to: listserv@xxxxxxx, or write to: volcano-request@xxxxxxxx To contribute to the volcano list, send your message to: volcano@xxxxxxxx Please do not send attachments. ==============================================================
