PhD opportunity: Improving drought predictions in Australia
April 3, 2023 11:02 am Comments Off on PhD opportunity: Improving drought predictions in AustraliaThe project will make use of latest observational datasets, including climate and flux tower observations, as well as high resolution satellite products developed for Australia to improve drought processes in JULES.
How do I write a cold email for a PhD opportunity?
March 21, 2023 12:03 pm Comments Off on How do I write a cold email for a PhD opportunity?I learnt the benefits of reaching out through e-mail while I was a student, now I receive many cold e-mails myself. Here’s how to write a good one.
UNSW08: Future Precipitation Extremes in Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS)
October 7, 2022 1:12 pm Comments Off on UNSW08: Future Precipitation Extremes in Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS)Pacific Small Island Developing States (PSIDS) are vulnerable to the adverse effects of changing climate, especially extreme weather such as heavy precipitation leading to flash floods. A problem in assessing the vulnerability of PSIDS to rising weather and climate extremes is a lack of a high spatial resolution climate projection dataset capable of resolving islands (Mycoo et al., 2022). Current projections using Phase 6 of the Climate Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP6) dataset are quite coarse to fully capture the complexity... View Article
