Fully Funded Phd Position in Sublacustrine Delta

vor 2 Wochen


Bern, Schweiz Universität Bern Universität Bern Vollzeit

**Fully funded PhD Position in Sublacustrine Delta Sedimentation**:
Deltas represent the transfer zone where sediment is moved from terrestrial to the subaquatic domain. The sediments are deposited in the deltaic areas and then remobilized again through eroding underflows or delta lip failures. In the past, tsunamogenic delta failures have occurred in Swiss lakes. Due to continuous sediment supply from the incoming river, however, the traces of such failures are missing. Thus, the origin, failure processes, and flow mechanisms remain unknown, but are needed for hazard assessment. In this project, the goal is to better understand the processes related to delta failures in lakes, through a multi-approach monitoring (ocean bottom seismometer, bathymetric mapping, water flow velocity measurements and sediment analysis).

Tasks

Tasks will be to study the geomorphological changes of the lake floor over time, spot small failures in deltaic areas and characterize the origin and type of turbidity currents and their deposits by analyzing the data acquired during the monitoring campaigns.

**Requirements**:
We offer

We offer a fully funded PhD position for four years, an international and interdisciplinary environment and state-of-the art lab facilities. Collaboration will be performed with colleagues from the University of Bern, the Swiss Seismological Service at ETH Zurich, EAWAG, University of Geneva and TU Vienna amongst others.

- Motivation letter and research interests
- Curriculum Vitae
- Contact information for 2 potential referees (no referee letters, please)

Deadline: 29 January 2023.
