The NERC DREAM (Data, Risk and Environmental Analytical Methods) Centre for Doctoral training on Risk and Mitigation using BIG Data is a consortium of Newcastle, Cranfield, Cambridge and Birmingham Universities. We will be awarding 10 full PhD studentships to start in October 2015. A number of the Newcastle University DREAM projects for 2015 have been developed by the Geomatics research group including: Big data tools for massively distributed environmental hazard data lakes (Stuart Barr<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) High-dimensional multi-objective spatial risk and sustainability optimisation tools using cloud-enabled evolutionary computing (Stuart Barr<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) Urban data processing workflows in the cloud underpinning risk analysis in cities (Phil James<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) Satellite radar observations for rapidly responding large earthquakes (Zhenhong Li<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) Real-time estimation of lake volume and river discharge from satellite altimetry and remotely sensed imagery in ungauged basins (Phil Moore<mailto:[log in to unmask]>) Deadline for applications for these projects is 19th June with interviews to be held the week commencing 22nd June. Full details on Newcastle University projects along with application form and eligibility conditions can be found at http://research.ncl.ac.uk/geospatial/dream/. The full list of all 2015 projects can be found at http://www.dream-cdt.ac.uk/studying/application/. Further details regarding individual projects can be obtained by contacting the lead supervisor. General enquiries regarding a DREAM PhD application can be directed to Stuart Barr<mailto:[log in to unmask]>. Please forward completed application forms and related paperwork to Stuart Barr<mailto:[log in to unmask]> by the 19th June deadline. ******************************************************* Dr Stuart Barr, Senior Lecturer, Geospatial Engineering Research, Centre for Earth Systems Engineering (CESER), School of Civil Engineering & Geosciences, Newcastle University, Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU, UK CESER: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/ceser/ ME: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/ceg/staff/profile/stuart.barr Geospatial Engineering: https://research.ncl.ac.uk/geospatial/ ICA-OSGEO Lab @ Newcastle: http://research.ncl.ac.uk/osgeolab/ Geospatial Engineering Blog: https://research.ncl.ac.uk/geospatial/blog/ tel: +44 (0)191 208 6449 fax: +44 (0)191 208 6502 Laura Hanson GIS Teaching Support Officer School of Civil Engineering and Geosciences Room G19, Cassie Building Newcastle University Newcastle upon Tyne, NE1 7RU Tel: (0191) 208 6080 | Fax: (0191) 208 6502 Email: [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> | Web: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/ceg/ School Resources: http://research.ncl.ac.uk/geospatial/resources/schools/ CPD Courses: http://www.ncl.ac.uk/cegs.cpd/geomatics/ Geospatial Engineering: https://research.ncl.ac.uk/geospatial/ ICA-OSGEO Lab @ Newcastle: http://research.ncl.ac.uk/osgeolab/ Geospatial Engineering Blog: https://research.ncl.ac.uk/geospatial/blog/ <https://www.facebook.com/nclgeomatics> <http://www.youtube.com/user/NewcastlUniGeomatics/videos> <https://twitter.com/nclgeomatics> <http://uk.linkedin.com/pub/geomatics-newcastle/32/4b5/102/>
