Climate impacts from water-rich large-magnitude volcanic eruptions

This PhD position investigates the climate impacts resulting from water-rich, large-magnitude volcanic eruptions. The project is supervised by Dr. Graham Mann and Prof. Amanda Maycock, who are affiliated with Leeds, and is hosted at the University of Plymouth. The research will focus on understanding how significant volcanic events, particularly those with high water content, influence atmospheric processes and climate systems. Students will engage with topics such as volcanology, climate modeling, and earth system science, aiming to quantify and predict the environmental consequences of these eruptions. The position offers an opportunity to work at the intersection of atmospheric science and geology, utilizing advanced modeling techniques and interdisciplinary approaches. Funding details and specific entry requirements are not provided in the current description. Interested candidates should monitor the University of Plymouth’s official channels for updates regarding application procedures, eligibility criteria, and funding opportunities.
