Doctoral Student in Glaciology and Glacial Hazards ETH Zurich in Switzerland

VAW Glaciology at ETH Zurich is hiring a Doctoral Student in Glaciology and Glacial Hazards for the #ICEFAL project, a Swiss-French collaboration focused on how rising ice temperatures affect the stability of cold hanging glaciers and their potential to trigger large ice avalanches. The project combines field measurements at high-elevation sites in the Swiss and French Alps with numerical modelling to build a data-driven hazard index for hanging glaciers. This is a strong fit for students intere...

PhD opportunity at GEUS and DTU on radar glaciology, firn hydrology, and Greenland Ice Sheet change. This PhD project will investigate how the near-surface firn of the Greenland Ice Sheet has changed over the past 25 years using airborne radar data collected since the early 1990s. The work focuses on reconstructing long-term changes in firn properties as melt intensity has increased, with particular attention to the expansion of ice slabs and ice layers that affect firn meltwater storage. Where ...
