Thread: PhD thesis project on DAS in Chile

Institution: University Côte d’Azur (Nice, France), Geoazur laboratory
Open Until: 2021-06-24

Dear all,

In the framework of the ABYSS ERC project, we are looking for an enthusiastic PhD student with background in geophysics to work on high resolution imaging of crustal structure along the Chilean margin using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) data. These images will provide unprecedented details on the margin and allow better observation of the structural heterogeneities that drive differences in the subduction behavior. This will improve our understanding of fault segmentation and the seismic cycle. In addition, the resulting images will provide better crustal velocity models which will increase the accuracy of the seismic event locations that will be recorded during the project.

The successful candidate will join a dynamic group of scientists working on DAS, who are experts in the use of DAS data for multiple applications, in particular for seismology of the ocean floor. In addition, the ABYSS project will provide very rich interactions with a group of nine people on a wide range of seismological applications of DAS data. The candidate will work with myself and in collaboration with Pr Jean-Paul Ampuero (advisory board).

The closing date for applications is June 24 2022. To view further details of this position and application please follow this link:
