The University of Orléans, through the Institut des Sciences de la Terre d'Orléans (ISTO), is offering a fully funded PhD position focused on the integrated study of microplastic flows and contaminant transfer in urban environments, with a particular emphasis on the Orléans metropolitan area and the Loire River headwaters. The research is part of the 'Stop aux Plastocs' programme and aims to provide both mechanistic understanding and operational insights into the transfer of microplastics (MPs) ...

An exciting fully funded PhD position is available in the field of experimental fluid dynamics, microfluidics, geophysics, and geosciences at the Institut des Sciences de la Terre d’Orléans (ISTO), University of Orleans, France. The research focuses on the experimental investigation of residual trapping of organic contaminants (non-aqueous phase liquids, NAPLs) in subsurface environments using microfluidics, multiphase flows, and integrated geo-electrical measurements. The project aims to better...

A fully funded 3-year PhD position is available in co-supervision between the Department of Geosciences at the University of Rennes and the Institut de Recherche sur les Phénomènes Hors Équilibre (IRPHE) at Aix-Marseille University, France. The research focuses on 'Dissolution trapping of CO2: convective dissolution in granular porous media,' a critical topic in geosciences and environmental science, with direct relevance to climate change mitigation and subsurface CO2 storage. The project inves...

A 3-year PhD position is available in co-supervision between the Geosciences Department at the University of Rennes and IRPHÉ at Aix-Marseille University, France. The research focuses on the dissolution trapping of CO2, specifically convective dissolution in granular porous media. This project is funded by CNRS and aims to advance understanding of how CO2 can be stored in subsurface geological formations through dissolution processes. The PhD project will experimentally study convective dissolut...
