Two Ph. D positions available in experimental volcanology!

Both Ph. D topics are part of large research project MYGALE, funded by the
French National Research Agency.

Summary of the MYGALE project
Flank collapse represents a significant volcanic hazard. Hydrothermal
alteration is considered to promote volcano instability, but there are few
data and models to robustly assess this hypothesis. MYGALE is a
multidisciplinary and collaborative project that will combine laboratory
measurements, geophysical techniques, and modelling to assess the role of
alteration on the stability of La Soufrière de Guadeloupe (Eastern
Caribbean). Time-lapse field geophysical measurements will map the extent
and evolution of alteration, experiments will provide physical property
data for altered rocks and timescales of alteration, and large-scale 4D
numerical modelling will assess the influence of alteration on volcano
stability by combing the geophysical and upscaled laboratory data. Working
closely with the volcano observatory in Guadeloupe, MYGALE aims at
designing optimised monitoring networks to better mitigate volcanic
hazards. The results of MYGALE will be applicable for hazardous volcanoes
worldwide.

Ph. D one
Location: Strasbourg Institute of Earth & Environment (France)
Main supervisor: Mike Heap (heap@xxxxxxxxxx)
Topic: The influence of alteration on the mechanical behaviour of volcanic
rocks
Start date: from September 2022 to January 2023
Duration: 3 years
Short description: This project will involve untangling the complex
influence of hydrothermal alteration on rock physical and mechanical
properties. The project will involve fieldwork at La Soufrière de
Guadeloupe and performing a wide range of laboratory experiments, including
uniaxial and triaxial deformation experiments.

Ph. D two
Location: Institute of Earth Sciences at Orléans (France)
Main supervisor: Caroline Martel (caroline.martel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx)
Topic: Timescales for the hydrothermal alteration of volcanic rocks
Start date: from September 2022 to January 2023
Duration: 3 years
Short description: This project will involve understanding the timescales
required for hydrothermal alteration. The project will involve fieldwork at
La Soufrière de Guadeloupe and performing high-pressure, high-temperature
alteration experiments in the laboratory. Changes resulting from alteration
will be tracked using X-ray computed tomography, X-ray diffraction, and
physical and mechanical property measurements.
