CCRC PhD Scholarship

Scholarship Description

Opportunities exist for students interested in studying the impact of climate change on the water resources of the Murray-Darling basin. Possible topics include studying the land-atmosphere interactions within the basin including precipitation recycling, vegetation feedbacks on climate during drought, streamflow responses to changes in climate and changes in land-use, improving land cover classifications using satellite data. However, outstanding applicants should want to define their own research focus and this is strongly encouraged. International travel to research laboratories, workshops and conferences is expected and opportunities for fieldwork may exist. The resulting Ph.D. will position you for a career in hydrology and climate science: the key national research priority in Australia. A quantitative background in Earth or atmospheric sciences, physics or maths is preferred.
