PhD opportunity at the University of East Anglia on Antarctic glacial meltwater, ocean circulation, and climate. This project, based in the School of Environmental Sciences at the University of East Anglia (Norwich, United Kingdom), is supervised by Dr Peter Sheehan. It investigates how fast-melting West Antarctic ice shelves release freshwater into surrounding shelf seas, how that meltwater moves through the Bellingshausen Sea, and how it affects ocean currents, salinity, temperature, and longe...
