Scholarship Description
A PhD Macquarie University Research Excellence Scholarship is available in the Dept Biological Sciences. The following projects may be available: Palaeo-precipitation reconstructs using forward modelling: to reconstruct precipitation changes using a data assimilation approach. Pollen-based climate reconstructions using modern analogue techniques: to reconstruct bioclimatic variables from Australian pollen records covering the past 21,000 years. Reconstructing climate changes through Dansgaard-Oeschger cycles: to reconstruct bioclimatic variables from pollen records through the last glacial period. Contact Prof Sandy Harrison with enquiries. The scholarship provides a living allowance/stipend for a domestic candidate or tuition fees (only) for an international candidate.
