PhD position in Homogenization of Lightning Climatologies at the University of Innsbruck in Austria . The project focuses on using meteorological predictors and machine learning methods to reconstruct lightning climatologies and isolate true atmospheric variability from system-induced distortions. The research integrates ground-based and space-based observations and is carried out in close collaboration with the long-term operator of lightning detection networks in Austria and Germany. This PhD ...

PhD opportunity at the University of Leeds in the School of Mathematics (part of EPS) on uncertainty in recent global warming trends and related risks of extreme events using a global km-scale model . The project investigates the recent increase in Earth’s energy imbalance, record global mean temperatures, and the rising frequency and intensity of regional extreme events. It asks whether high-resolution climate simulations can improve understanding of climate variability and change, and whether ...
