Hi All We are advertising projects for an October 2015 start in the Crustal Evolution Research Group at Portsmouth. The bursary unfortunately can only be given to a UK or EU citizen due to Visa rulings. Please could you make any excellent students aware, below are the titles and a link to the website where the descriptions can be downloaded and details of the bursary and application procedure can be found: 1) Stick-slip mechanics in active fault zones - Phil Benson 2) The role of meteorite impact bombardment in lithosphere and atmosphere evolution - James Darling 3) Hidden records of the evolution of modern plate tectonics - Craig Storey 4) Development and growth of a Neoproterozoic active plate margin - Rob Strachan http://www.port.ac.uk/postgraduate-research/funding/phd-geography-earth-and-environmental/ We have benefited from recent investment in equipment and skilled personnel and any student would join a thriving and growing research group.
