About this position

The University of New South Wales is offering a PhD opportunity focused on the 3D mapping of caves, specifically targeting the identification of water flow pathways through limestone from the surface to groundwater. This project is ideal for candidates interested in developing advanced 3D laser mapping skills and applying them to real-world geological and environmental challenges. The research will involve mapping cave ceilings at various sites across Australia, contributing to the broader project 'caves and their stalagmites: linking climate to groundwater recharge.' The successful candidate will join a multidisciplinary team of climate and groundwater scientists, gaining experience in hydrogeology, climate science, and geospatial analysis.

Key academic keywords for this opportunity include 3D mapping, caves, groundwater, climate science, laser scanning, limestone, and hydrogeology. The project is led by Professor Andy Baker, an Australian Research Council Laureate Fellow at the University of New South Wales, Australia. Professor Baker is a Fellow of several prestigious societies, including the American Geophysical Union and the Royal Society of New South Wales.

Applicants should have a background in earth science, geology, environmental science, or a related field, with a strong interest in 3D mapping technologies and cave systems. Experience with geospatial analysis or laser scanning is desirable. The post does not specify funding details or a deadline, but further information may be available on the referenced flier or by contacting the research team. This is an excellent opportunity for students passionate about earth sciences and environmental research to contribute to innovative projects in Australia.

Funding details

No explicit funding details are provided in the post. Further information may be available on the referenced flier.

What's required

Applicants should have a strong interest in 3D laser mapping, cave systems, and hydrogeology. A relevant undergraduate or master's degree in earth science, geology, environmental science, or a related field is expected. Experience with 3D mapping technologies or geospatial analysis is desirable. Good teamwork and communication skills are important. No specific GPA or language test requirements are mentioned.
