UNSW/DSTO funded PhD Scholarship
Scholarship Description
Candidates are sought for a joint UNSW/DSTO-funded PhD scholarship to begin early next year to build a predictive circulation and ecology system for Jervis Bay, NSW, Australia. The project will involve characterisation of the bay by oceanographic surveys of both static and dynamic water column and seabed properties. A database of relevant environmental and ecological parameters will be established encompassing the planned measurements and historical data in order to set up a hydrodynamics, sediment transport and ecology model. The hydrodynamics model will be used to forecast the effects of Coastal Trapped Waves and local winds on bay circulation, and to provide the realistic physical background and fields for the sediment transport and ecosystem modelling. The project will form part of effort to design an integrated marine observing system (IMOS). IMOS is an initiative of the Australian Government being conducted as part of the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy
