PhD Position in Geography, University of Zurich, Switzerland

PhD studentship Glaciology, Geomorphodynamics and Geochronology Department of Geography University of Zurich, Switzerland We are seeking a PhD candidate for the project CRYOSUB: Mountain Cryosphere Subgrid Parameterization and Computation, starting 1 March or 1 April 2009. The expected outcome of this project is a method that allows for continental-scale modeling of permafrost, snow and glacier mass balance in mountain areas under present and simulated future climate. This is important because the mountain cryosphere influences a large proportion of the global land mass and population, experiences high rates of climate change and is currently inadequately resolved in regional climate models due to the dominating influence of sub-grid variability. This...
