 PhD scholarships within the Basins, Stratigraphy and Sedimentary Processes group, University of Manchester:

 

If you’re interested in PhD geoscience research subjects applicable to the energy transition, including #geology, #geophysics, #sedimentology and #stratigraphy, #petrology, #reservoir and pore-scale modelling, #geophysical interpretation, etc, or if you’re interested in understanding Earth’s evolution as recorded in its sedimentary archives,

including mass extinction events, #glaciations, and even how current #anthropogenic behaviour is modifying natural #sedimentary environments (e.g. plastic pollution), then please get in touch with us by taking a look at our website https://lnkd.in/eMrHUWJ4 or by contacting us directly:
