Dear all,
We are currently advertising a PhD position at British Antarctic Survey (Dr Clara Manno, Dr Flo Atherden) and Durham University (Prof. Erin L. McClymont) on "Understanding Biological Responses to Arctic Sea-Ice Geoengineering climate interventions".
The use of geoengineering as a tool to actively cool the Earth is seen as a potential approach to "buy time" to allow for global decarbonisation. Fragile polar ecosystems are critical to the global climate system, yet the potential ecological consequences of climate interventions at the poles are poorly understood. This studentship will be linked to a larger project, ECO-ICE, which will provide an independent impact assessment of climate interventions in the Arctic marine environment on the structure, functioning and resilience of pelagic ecosystems through laboratory experiments and computer modelling.
Full project details are available: https://iapetus.ac.uk/studentships/understanding-biological-responses-to-arctic-sea-ice-geoengineering-climate-intervention/
Best wishes,
Flo
