Massey University, New Zealand* Kia ora Colleagues and students, We are seeking candidates for a PhD position in our Physical Volcanology and Geological Fluid Mechanics group at Massey University, Aotearoa New Zealand (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://volcanic.massey.ac.nz/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!bw2JweI6c64L_ecaXf5YnGEwroa_t5hOyLYHMxtcC_J3hQNswcyOLfcGuJtkxruYGc6JStBlKScy6Z0P$ <https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://volcanic.massey.ac.nz/__;!!IKRxdwAv5BmarQ!bMK1HHV45r79ot4lSUJbckqAZXTVRBfPaYImB4euE136syrKqvTJfumv8ONll8Xv16UAqwjp-nO2zTNZnw$>). This PhD research will examine how pyroclastic density currents interact with human infrastructure and three-dimensional topography and how we can learn to model the processes involved in this important hazard process. To achieve this, the candidate will be expected to conduct the following over the course of this research: (1) Conduct novel large-scale experiments, with help of the PELE (Pyroclastic flow Eruption Large-scale Experiment) team, involving tons of natural volcanic ash and pumice material, heated up to 500 degrees Celsius and moving at speeds of nearly 100 kilometres an hour over instrumented infrastructure and landscape models. (2) Analysis and interpretation of multi-sensor data of the flow and hazard impact processes of the large-scale experiments, and collaboration with international collaborators on numerical modelling of the observed hazard processes. (3) Depending on interest and training, adaptation of pyroclastic density current flow models through theoretical/numerical modelling, or adaptation of pyroclastic density current hazard models through field work on young or recent PDC-forming eruptions. Candidates will ideally have a background in either fields of geoscience, geophysics, physics, engineering, or mathematics. Experience or a keen interest in Volcanology, fluid mechanics or numerical modelling will be advantageous. All applicants will need to send (1) a CV, (2) a brief letter explaining your relevant previous experiences and research interests (one page maximum), and (3) contact details of two referees, all compiled into a single PDF document. Please email these to Gert Lube (g.lube@xxxxxxxxxxxx), and title your email with your surname and "PELE PhD application".
