Fully Funded PhD in Glaciology and Glacial Hazards at ETH Zürich ETH Zürich in Switzerland

Doctoral Student in Glaciology and Glacial Hazards at ETH Zurich This PhD opening is part of the ICEFAL project, a Swiss-French consortium studying the stability of cold hanging glaciers under climate warming in the French and Swiss Alps. The project combines glaciology, high-mountain hazards, thermo-mechanical modeling, field measurements, and regional geospatial analysis to build a hazard-potential index for hanging glaciers. The successful candidate will work with the Professorship of Glaciol...

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...
