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...

Imperial College London is advertising a PhD project on coastal cliff instability due to extreme weather conditions , based in the Department of Civil & Environmental Engineering in London, United Kingdom. The project investigates how climate change , extreme drying , and heatwaves may trigger coastal cliff failure, with a focus on the hydromechanical response of unsaturated coastal geomaterials (especially the Mercia Mudstone Group). The research combines advanced laboratory element testing wit...
