Scholarship Description: In order to predict how our water and soil resources will be able to cope with future climate change, we can study sedimentary records to decipher how the landscape has responded to past climate variability. This project will use isotope geochemistry to reâ€"construct variations in chemical weathering (which shapes the global carbon cycle), soil erosion and sediment transport in rivers. Isotopic systems used will be lithium, boron or uranium-series isotopes, which all provide different constraints on Earth surface processes.You will integrate the Wollongong Isotope Geochronology Lab led by Dr Anthony Dosseto and currently already composed of several international PhD students. You will have access to a brand new clean laboratory facility with all the equipments required for your project.

Value: The PhD scholarship covers tuition fees and includes a living allowance.
