Drowned Paleolandscapes – a geological record for assessing landscape and environment response to postglacial sea level rise and climate change

I’m hiring a PhD student for my project “Drowned Paleolandscapes – a geological record for assessing landscape and environment response to postglacial sea level rise and climate change” funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.

Read more here: https://lnkd.in/d3MwCTgm

Earliest start date is 1 February 2025 and the application deadline is 1 November 2024.

Applications are invited for a PhD fellowship/scholarship at Graduate School of Natural Sciences, Aarhus University, Denmark, within the Geoscience programme. The position is available from February 2025 or later.

Title:
Drowned Paleolandscapes – a geological record for assessing landscape and environment response to postglacial sea level rise and climate change

Research area and project description:
Candidates are invited to apply for a PhD fellowship focused on submerged paleolandscape analysis primarily by means of high-resolution marine geophysical data and sediment cores, with possibilities of utilizing numerical modeling approaches and machine learning. 

The successful candidate will become part of the RisingSea research group working to assess and quantify the preservation degree of drowned paleolandscapes and the response of low-topography landscapes and environments to rising sea level. More broadly, the project aims to utilize the geological archives of the eastern North Sea Basin to develop our basic understanding and reference framework for how low-topography landscapes and environments respond to rising sea level and climate change over longer time scales.

One of the main objectives of the research group is to establish a Drowned Paleolandscape Atlas, where the geophysical characteristics of specific preserved landscape types are described, and seismic morphologies are linked to various paleoenvironments. The PhD candidate will contribute to this work.

The PhD candidate will use seismo-acoustic data and sediment cores to study the geological processes that are prevalent during flooding and sea-level rise. The results will be of relevance for future climate mitigation and adaptions, sustainable use of the coastal zones, offshore windfarm constructions and geo-archaeology.

The project involves offshore fieldwork opportunities and close collaboration with research and industry partners both nationally and internationally; – including universities and research institutions in the United Kingdom, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands and Belgium. The PhD project will preferably include a research visit to one of the collaborating institutions.

The PhD position is funded by the Carlsberg Foundation.

Please upload a project description (½-4 pages). This document should describe your ideas and research plans for this specific project. If you wish to, you can indicate an URL where further information can be found.

Qualifications and specific competences:
Applicants must have a relevant Master’s degree or at least one year of a Master’s degree in geology, geophysics or similar. In addition, the candidate will have demonstrated analytical skills, a good command of English, excellent interpersonal skills, an open attitude to interdisciplinary research, and the ability to work in international collaborations. Previous experience with seismic and acoustic data and sediment cores, software for seismic interpretation and processing, and integrative approaches for combining geophysical, geotechnical, and geological data is highly desired.

Place of employment and place of work:
The place of employment is Aarhus University, and the place of work is Høegh-Guldbergs Gade 2, DK-8000 Aarhus, Denmark.

A Roadmap is an opportunity for a diversity of interests in Oregon to establish a more transparent, equitable, and community-driven process for planning, siting, developing, and operating floating offshore wind energy projects and their associated infrastructure. The Roadmap Project Coordination will be responsible for leading the state to conduct an open, transparent, proactive, and comprehensive dialogue around floating offshore wind energy that represents all of Oregon’s interests in state, tribal, regional, and federal planning and decision making resulting in a Roadmap. This position will lead the implementation elements of the Roadmap that DLCD is tasked to complete including possible amendments to the Territorial Sea Plan part 5.

Help bring the Newport Medieval Ship back to life to through an animation based on archaeological research into its origins and construction

https://www.crowdfunder.co.uk/p/newport-medieval-ship-visitor-centre-animation

What is the Newport Medieval Ship

The Newport Medieval Ship is a fifteenth century merchant vessel unearthed in the heart of Newport, South Wales in 2002.

The ship was a formidable three-masted craft measuring over 30 metres in length and capable of carrying around 200 tons of cargo. 

It was brought to Newport for repairs or refit in 1468 or 1469. It is thought that, whilst in Newport, the cradle supporting the ship collapsed. The hull was flooded and the majority of the ship was then taken apart, leaving only the lower hull that we have today.  

These remains have been carefully cleaned, recorded and conserved: conservation of the timbers concluded earlier this year. The project is now focused on planning the reassembly and display of the hull and artefacts.

Visitors can learn more about the history of the ship at the Newport Ship visitor centre.

The Friends of Newport Ship support the work of Newport City Council in the continuing conservation of the timbers and all the other artefacts that are part of this amazing treasure – ‘the Newport Medieval Ship’.

2024 Crowdfunder

In 2023, researchers from the University of Wales Trinity Saint David and Swansea University announced a breakthrough in the dating of the Newport Medieval Ship. Through the use of oxygen isotope dendrochronology (the study of tree-ring data), they have determined that selected structural timbers of the hull were made from oak trees that were felled in the winter of 1457-58.  

The research, published in the International Journal of Nautical Archaeology, suggests that the vessel was constructed soon after this and had a working life of about ten years before coming to Newport for repairs.

Previous research has shown that the ship timbers originated from forests in the Basque Country in northern Spain and that the ship was likely built along the Basque coast.

Analysis of the artefacts, cargo remnants and plant remains from the ship have revealed trading links with Portugal.

This crowdfunder will create a new animation which will be displayed in the visitor centre and used as part of the education and engagement activities by the Friends of Newport Ship and Newport Museums and Heritage Service. It will compliment a animation created about the final journey which was created by Dextra Visual in 2022.

The animation will be based on the archaeological research about the origins of the Newport Ship including the 2023 research about ships’ timbers and construction. We are raising funds so the animation is completed in time for the 2024 Friends of Newport Ship AGM.
