6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 From: "Amelung, Falk C" <famelung@xxxxxxxxx> *3 PhD positions in Space Geodesy/Volcanology/Tectonics at the * *University of Miami * The geodesy laboratory in the Department of Marine Geosciences (MGS) at the Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science (RSMAES) at the University of Miami, Florida, invites applications for fully funded (stipend and tuition) 5-year PhD positions. *Earthquake-triggered magmatic unrest.* There are many observations of volcanic unrest in the days to months following large earthquakes, but it is generally not known whether unrest is caused by magmatic or by hydrothermal processes. This PhD project will use a global multi-parameter investigation combining space-based ground deformation (InSAR), gas emissions, thermal flux measurements with numerical stress change modeling to identify and investigate triggered magmatic unrest. This is a joint project with Michigan Technological University. Dynamics of ocean island volcanoes This PhD project will investigate the eruption cycle of oceanic hotspot volcanoes with the aim of testing whether stress change models can hindcast past and forecast future volcanic processes. The research targets are the volcanoes in the Hawaiian and Galapagos islands, with emphasis on the 2022 eruption of Mauna Loa volcano, following on the work of Varugu & Amelung (2021). Active tectonics of the Chaman fault system and of the Makran subduction zone This PhD project will use InSAR data to study the mechanics of strain accumulation along the Chaman fault system in Pakistan and Afghanistan, and along the Makran subduction zone. Science questions to be addressed include the degree of seismic coupling along the megathrust fault and the maximum earthquake size. This project follows on Fattahi & Amelung (2016) and Lv et al. (2022). *Requirements*: MSc degree or equivalent in geology/geophysics/physics/mathematics or an engineering discipline. Good computational skills or willingness to learn them. Interest in supercomputing. You will be involved in NASAâ??s upcoming NISAR mission, support the Geohazard Supersites & Natural Laboratories initiative of the Global Earth Observation System of Systems (GEOSS), and use/develop our MintPy and MiaplPy open-source software packages.

The application is through the Schoolâ??s Graduate Program website. For international applicants without previous instruction in English the TOEFL/IELTS is required by the federal government. Start is in the 2023 fall or in the 2024 spring semester. Review of applications starts 1 June 2023. Decisions for the fall semester are made in July or earlier. 6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6 ============================================================== Volcano Listserv is a collaborative venture among Arizona State University (ASU), Portland State University (PSU), the Global Volcanism Program (GVP) of the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of Natural History, and the International Association for Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior (IAVCEI).
