PhD Position in Remote Sensing and Deep-Seated Landslide Instabilities in the Southern Swiss Alps WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF in Switzerland

EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland is offering a full-time PhD position within the Plant Ecology Research Laboratory (PERL) focused on forest ecophysiology , remote sensing , forest ecology , and plant responses to drought . The project will study how forest canopy temperature and spectral properties reflect tree physiological responses to increasing atmospheric drought and soil water limitation. The research combines field ecophysiology, forest drought experiments, thermal and spectral remote sensin...

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 assistantship in the Department of Earth Sciences at Binghamton University, State University of New York, USA, focused on hydrology. The project is in a new hydrology lab with Dr. Lyn Watts and centers on wetland hydrology and restoration, groundwater-dependent wetlands and rivers, flood forecasting and hazard mitigation, and river responses to climate and land use change. Research activities may include field work, lab work, remote sensing, and analysis of big datasets. Tools and methods m...
