LARAM School “LAndslide Risk Assessment and Mitigation”: 5 – 16 Settembre 2022
Dal 5 al 16 Settembre 2022, a Salerno, in modalità ibrida (presenza/online) si svolgerà la scuola internazionale “LAndslide Risk Assessment and Mitigation” (LARAM School). La Scuola è rivolta a 40 dottorandi selezionati ogni anno tra coloro che operano nel campo dell’ingegneria civile, dell’ingegneria ambientale, dell’engineering geology o con una formazione ingegneristica simile, e fino ad un massimo di 10 giovani dottori di ricerca. La scadenza per la domanda/registrazione è lunedì 30 maggio 2022. Maggioni informazioni e modalità di iscrizione in questo sito, in questo messaggio e in questo flyer.
Postdoctoral positions – Lawrence Berkeley National Lab’s
Lawrence Berkeley National Lab (Energy Geosciences Division) has opened three new postdoctoral positions.
- Subsurface Coupled Processes Modeling
The successful candidate will work with PI Jonny Rutqvist on the implementation and application of new multiphysical laws of geological media (rocks and soils) for modeling subsurface coupled thermal, hydrological, and mechanical processes. More info on this page. - Energy Geosciences Modeling
The successful candidate will work with PI Mengsu Hu to apply numerical and machine learning models for fractured, granular, porous geological systems for analysis of mechanics and its coupling with fluid flow and heat transfer within fractures and faults. More info on this page - Earth Pore-Scale Modeling
The successful candidate will work with PIs Mengsu Hu and Carl Steefel to develop and apply novel pore-scale numerical tool sets to analyze fundamental earth processes of formation and evolution of sedimentary rocks, including potentially carbonate compaction, fracture healing and clay swelling.
