PhD Studentship: Magma Emplacement and Its Evolution—Deciphering Between Magmatic and Tectonic Processes University of East Anglia in United Kingdom

University of East Anglia (School of Environmental Sciences) is advertising a funded PhD project on the formation, emplacement, and ore-forming processes of the Rogaland Anorthosite Complex in southern Norway. The project is supervised by Dr Zoja Vukmanovic and focuses on one of Earth’s most unusual intrusive rock suites: anorthosites. The research will investigate the Egersund-Ogna massif and associated Fe-Ti oxide ore bodies, with an emphasis on magma dynamics, emplacement mechanisms, and the ...

Fully funded PhD opportunity at Heriot-Watt University in Edinburgh, UK, within the Southeast Asia Research Group (SEARG) . The project is titled “Reconstructing the Ancient Natuna Arch: Timing and Uplift of a Southeast Asian Palaeo-Mountain Belt.” It focuses on the Natuna Arch, an almost entirely eroded Mesozoic mountain belt that may once have formed a land bridge from Borneo. The research aims to reconstruct when the arch was uplifted, how high it became, and how it influenced sediment disper...
