(Deadline: 19th January 2018)

Oxford Earth Sciences accepts applications for DPhil study via three mechanisms: direct application, NERC

Environmental Doctoral Training Programme (DTP) / and through the Science and Technology Funding

Council (STFC).

Doctoral Training Programme

https://www.environmental-research.ox.ac.uk/ The Oxford DTP in Environmental Research seeks to recruit the most promising research students, from a wide

variety of backgrounds, capable of developing their own research projects in line with the interests of our

broad selection of supervisors.

Supervisors: Mike Cassidy, Tarje Nissen-Meyer, Karin Sigloch, Tamsin Mather, Richard Katz, David Pyle, Lars

Hansen, Chris Ballentine

Volcanology, Seismology and Active Tectonics

• Seismological imaging of mantle structure beneath a hotspot volcano

• Volcanic CO2 emissions in the Main Ethiopian Rift

• Magma/mantle dynamics: production and extraction of melt from the convecting mantle

• The fluid dynamics of melting and melt extraction

• Using Earth Observation techniques to understand volcanic processes

• Mantle volatile reservoirs

• Volcanic continental margins and continental break-up

• Understanding the volcanism of the Tasmantid seamount chain

• Large explosive eruptions in the Main Ethiopian Rift

Direct Application

The projects below may also be applied for through the DTP route.

https://www.earth.ox.ac.uk/teaching/graduates/dphil-projects-2018/

Students with alternative funding, including scholarships, industry or government backing, or those who are

self-funded, can apply directly to the department to study for a DPhil in Earth Sciences. Those considering this

route are advised to look at the projects available for the coming year, and to contact their prospective

supervisor before submitting an application.
