Developing Seabed Scour Assessment and Prediction Tools using Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling25/11/2020 Research Masters (MEngSc) in Civil / Geotechnical Engineering at UCD
Project title: Developing Seabed Scour Assessment and Prediction Tools using Computational Fluid Dynamics Modelling (DeMo) Supervision team: Jennifer Keenahan (UCD) and Mark Coughlan (UCD) Project description: This project will use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) modelling, validated by traditional seabed mapping results, to help better understand seabed hydrodynamics and scour development in the Irish Sea. The outputs from this project will be used to better assess and predict scour at offshore infrastructure. This will be an invaluable product in the de-risking of future offshore renewable energy development. The project will be in collaboration with iCRAG (Irish Centre for Research in Applied Geosciences), Arup and GDG (Gavin & Doherty Geosolutions). Position Description: This 12 Month full-time Master’s by research (MEngSc) position is fully funded through the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI). The successful candidate will be registered at University College Dublin, starting as soon as possible in January 2021. The Master’s stipend is €18,500, with a contribution to EU fees of €5,500 per annum. Candidate Experience: The candidate should have a minimum 2.1 in an honours Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (or a closely related discipline), or an equivalent standard from an overseas university. Some experience in computational modelling would be an advantage. Application: Please e-mail a CV (max. 2 pages) and a cover letter outlining your experience and motivation to Dr Jennifer Keenahan ([email protected]). Intended start date is Jan 2021.

Department of Geography, University of Sheffield, UK This one-year MSc(Res) programme should interest students seeking Masters-level research training and experience within the broad subject area of cold-regions science. Its research areas include glaciology, geomorphology, climate change, Quaternary science, and oceanic and atmospheric processes. The programme targets those wishing to gain an intensive research experience and expand their knowledge and skills before progressing to a PhD. Training is provided via a research apprenticeship within the Ice and Climate Research (ICERS) cluster of academic and postdoctoral staff and research students. Our students carry out a major Research Project under supervision by ICERS staff. Another key feature of the programme is a summer Field Course module. Its provisional destination is Western Greenland. We invite applications from students who are performing at (a minimum) good Upper-Second Class undergraduate level at a UK university or graduated at that level, or an international equivalent, in a relevant subject --- for example, Physical Geography, Environmental / Earth / Ocean Sciences, Geology, Physics, and Natural Science. Many of our alumni have gone on to secure competitive PhD places. Some alumni pursued their career as environmental professionals. Our next Postgraduate Event will be on Wednesday 25th November 2020. At the event, which will be organised as an online live session, the course director will describe the programme and answer your questions, and you will have the opportunity to speak to a current student and hear their experience. If you wish to attend the event, please book a place here: https://www.sheffield.ac.uk/postgraduate/visit/open-days We are considering applications for September 2021 entry. Further details about the course can be found at: http://www.sheffield.ac.uk/geography/masters/polarandalpinechange The Scott Polar Research Institute, University of Cambridge offers a nine-month Masters Course in Polar Studies.
It is a well established course and offers teaching, training and supervision in either the Polar Physical Sciencesor the Polar Social Sciences/ Humanities although students may attend lectures from both strands. There is a short video introducing the course available from here: https://www.geog.cam.ac.uk/graduate/videos/ We are running a live Q&A session on Friday 13th November at 13:00 (GMT).

Our vision is a world where wildlife thrives and we’re working every day to achieve this. From investigating the health threats facing animals, to helping people and wildlife live alongside each other, we are committed to bringing wildlife back from the brink of extinction. Through the work of our pioneering scientists, our dedicated conservationists and our unrivalled animal experts in our two zoos, we guide and enable others in the UK and all across the world. Inspiring, informing, empowering – working for wildlife. Role ProfileZSL is seeking an intern to work on a 1 year project funded by the Marine Stewardship Council examining the benthic habitats of Greenland. The West coast of Greenland is home to commercially important coldwater prawn and halibut fisheries. Their entrance into the MSC sustainability scheme has highlighted a concerning lack of knowledge of benthic habitats in the area, and the impact of trawling activities upon these habitats. The project will be collating and analysing video surveys of the West Greenland seabed to document the structure, function and diversity of seafloor communities. These data will be used to map, model and predict distributions of benthic habitats, assess the impact of trawling and highlight potential vulnerable marine ecosystems. This project provides an opportunity for a recent graduate to gain conservation science experience working for a conservation research institute. Initially this post is likely to be working from home, with a computer provided. Training and meetings will be conducted remotely until the current COVID restrictions are lifted.
