The Department of Earth Sciences, University of Oxford seeks to appoint
a Postdoctoral Researcher in Satellite Remote Sensing of the Earthquake
Cycle. This post, based at the Department of Earth Sciences, University
of Oxford, aims to use satellite radar interferometry applied to
Sentinel-1 satellite radar data to image crustal strain accumulation,
and to determine and interpret surface deformation associated with the
earthquake cycle. The successful candidate will work closely with
researchers in the ‘Looking inside the Continents from Space’ (LiCS)
project funded by the Natural Environment Research Council, and with
COMET, a world-leading centre for understanding tectonic and volcanic
processes and hazards (http://comet.nerc.ac.uk/)
The researcher will be responsible for the processing and analysis of
Sentinel-1 radar data to determine crustal strain accumulation over
selected areas in the Alpine-Himalayan belt. They will also use the
radar-derived deformation measurements in investigations of regional
tectonics and in the modelling and interpretation of the earthquake
cycle. In the event of a significant earthquake they will work with
other LiCS/COMET scientists to combine these techniques with other
observations to investigate the earthquake and its tectonic context.
