Dear all,
--
Just wanted to draw your attention to an exciting PhD opportunity at the School of Earth and Environment in Leeds:
CATASTROPHIC ICE MELT AND LIFE IN THE OCEANS
The aim of the PhD is to understand the effect of catastrophic meltwater discharge on physical ocean circulation, ocean biogeochemistry and marine ecosystems during the last 21 thousand years and in the future. This will be achieved by combining cutting edge knowledge of ice sheet dynamics and biogeochemistry with state of the art ocean modelling.
More info is available here: http://www.nercdtp.leeds.ac.uk/projects/index.php?id=289

Supervisors are from the University of Leeds and University of Bristol, and the project offers development of a wide inter-disciplinary skill set, with potential for international collaboration and travel. The deadline to apply is February 2016, with a potential start date of October 2016.
If you know anyone who might be interested please forward them this email.
Many thanks,
