Hi everyone,
Along with the University of Nottingham, the British Geological Survey is supervising a research project called: Automatic Landslide Mapping with Earth Observation data (ALMEO).
The project aims at developing a tool to automatically mapping landslide from satellite data that can be deployed in complementing poor landslides databases (and therefore improve multi-hazards/risks assessment) and support disaster response activities.
The project is funded through the Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) which encompasses a four year (1 MSc + 3 PhD) training programme, more details can be found here: https://geospatialcdt.ac.uk/studentship-projects/
The PhD students will receive full fees and an annual living allowance which is based on the UKRI rate (rate for 2022/23, £17,668). A substantive Research Training Support Grant (RTSG) to cover the costs for consumables, travel, conferences, and access to placement opportunities with industrial partners.
About the eligibility conditions: We welcome applications from Home and International (incl. EU) students from a range of backgrounds, including Computing, Engineering, Geography, Geomatics, Mathematics, Social Sciences, Physics, Economics and related disciplines, and are fully committed to equality, diversity and inclusion to ensure fair opportunity for all. Please note that there are a limited number of international awards available.
Knowledge of GIS environment is mandatory and basic knowledge of python would be an asset.
Applications are now open for entry in September 2023. Applications close on Sunday 29th January 2023 so we would ask you to forward this advert to relevant candidates!
For any more details, do please email me ([log in to unmask]) or the main supervisor (Stephen Grebby, University of Nottingham - [log in to unmask])
Thanks in any case!
Cheers,
Alessandro
