Are large submarine landslides temporally random or do uncertainties in available age constraints make it impossible to tell?

Are large submarine landslides temporally random or do uncertainties in available age constraints make it impossible to tell? by PhD student Ed Pope Large submarine landslides can potentially generate very destructive tsunamis and damage expensive seafloor infrastructure. Understanding their frequency and triggers is therefore important especially if it is likely to change significantly due to… Read More Are large submarine landslides temporally random or do uncertainties in available age constraints make it impossible to tell?

7th annual Universities High Voltage Network Colloquium UHVNet 2013

John Emeana and Tim Hughes are two second year PhD students in the Geology and Geophysics group here at the University of Southampton. Both John and Tim’s work is focused on investigating how thermal properties of marine sediments affects the performance of high voltage (HV) cables that are buried under the seafloor. Both work as… Read More 7th annual Universities High Voltage Network Colloquium UHVNet 2013

PhD position vacant: Morphological evolution of managed realignment schemes

Applications are currently being taken for a PhD in Morphological evolution of managed realignment schemes. This exciting project is multidisciplinary between coastal morphodynamics and engineering. Supervisors are Dr Shari Gallop (G&G), Dr Ivan Haigh (Physical Oceanography) and Dr Nigel Pontee from Halcrow – a CH2M Hill company. For more details on the project see: http://noc.ac.uk/gsnocs/project/morphological-evolution-managed-realignment-schemes… Read More PhD position vacant: Morphological evolution of managed realignment schemes
