This project builds on our recent and exciting work on high-resolution, high-density, 3D and 4D surveying of alpine glaciers using a newly developed drone-based ground-penetrating radar (GPR) system. PhD 1 will focus on characterizing and monitoring steep, inaccessible glaciers to enhance our understanding of the physical processes driving ice avalanches. PhD 2 will concentrate on mapping and monitoring englacial and subglacial hydrological networks, investigating seasonal and interannual changes to advance glacier hydrology research. Successful applicants will have a strong quantitative and computer programming background, and hold a Master\u2019s degree in geophysics, physics, engineering, or a related quantitative discipline. A passion for conducting multi-day fieldwork in remote and challenging alpine environments is also essential.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\ud83d\udd17 Learn more and apply here: <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/4eGVCzh\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">https:\/\/bit.ly\/4eGVCzh<\/a><br>\ud83d\uddd3\ufe0f Application deadline: January 15, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The CRAG group has 2 PhD student openings as part of the Drone Radar for Alpine Glacier ObservatioN (DRAGON \ud83d\udc09) project, funded by the Swiss National Science Foundation.
