Dear Colleagues,
Please find below a list of geophysics PhD projects open for competitive
application at the University of Liverpool. Please bring them to the
attention of any students who you think may be interested.
More information on the projects and the application process is
available at: http://www.liv.ac.uk/earth/PG/GeophysicsPhD.htm
The deadline for application is 18^th Feb.
Many thanks,
