Prof A.V. Rowan

This PhD project at the University of Leeds aims to investigate the form, dynamics, and stability of glacial lake moraine dams, which are increasingly common in high-mountain regions worldwide. The research will focus on understanding the geomorphological and hydrological processes that govern the formation and evolution of these natural dams, as well as assessing their stability and potential risks associated with dam failure. The project is highly relevant to earth science, geology, and environmental science, and will contribute to the broader understanding of natural hazards in mountainous environments. The position offers the opportunity to work within a leading research institution, utilizing advanced analytical and field-based techniques to address pressing questions related to climate change and environmental safety.
