Great PhD opportunity: Regolith and rock art on Burrup Peninsula

Applications are invited from suitably qualified applicants to undertake
a PhD project in the Earth Environment Group in RSES at ANU.

The project will investigate aspects of regolith/landform evolution on
the Burrup Peninsula near Dampier in northwest WA. The heritage-listed
Burrup Peninsula and nearby islands contain the largest know gallery of
aboriginal rock art (mostly petroglyphs), with probably more than 1
million images (see attached example). However, industrial development
around the port of Dampier is seen by some as a threat to the
preservation of the rock art. 
Thus, the project will focus on the nature, age and rate of rock
weathering on Burrup Peninsula to better understand the stability of the
rock art and provide data for a conservation strategy.

Prospective applicants should visit the student web page of RSES
<http://rses.anu.edu.au/students/index.php>http://rses.anu.edu.au/studen
ts/index.php
and follow the links for information on applying for a PhD scholarship
at ANU.

Applicants should also contact Brad Pillans
(<mailto:brad.pillans at anu.edu.au>brad.pillans at anu.edu.au) for further
information.

Unfortunately time is short. ANU PhD applications are due by 31 October.

However, this is such a great project that I'm sure we can organise
things in time!

6 PhD Scholarships at the University of Tasmania
-----
The Landscape Logic research Hub is helping natural resource managers
improve decision making about investment in environmental management by
examining links between actions at local site scale and resource
condition change at landscape scale. It is a partnership between
regional NRM organisations, research institutions and State land
management agencies, and is hosted by the University of Tasmania through
the Centre for Environment.

We are offering 6 PhD Scholarships through the University of Tasmania in
the following fields:

* Estuarine Ecology (Tasmanian Fisheries and Aquaculture Institute)
* Freshwater Ecology (School of Zoology)
* GIS and Spatial Analysis (Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural
Research)
* Native Vegetation Condition (Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural
Research)
* Riparian Processes (Ensis)
* Landuse Change (Tasmanian Institute of Agricultural Research)
* River Basin Management (Centre for Environment)

UTAS Scholarships are valued at $19,616pa for up to 3 years, and top-ups
of up to $10,000pa may also be available to approved applicants.

For more information on Landscape Logic, please see our website,
