This is an advert for a PhD student at the Institut des sciences de la mer de Rimouski (ISMER) in Rimouski (Quebec, Canada) in natural hazards and paleomagnetism. The project will also be in close collaboration with researchers from the Institut de physique du globe de Paris (IPGP). The brief project description is pasted below. Feel free to pass along this email to your students and colleagues.

Cheers,
Michael.

Short project description

In the framework of the CASEIS (SEISmes dans les CAraïbes) research project, a scientific expedition lead by the Institut de physique du globe de Paris (IPGP) in collaboration with several other French and international institutions will take place in the Caribbean from May 28 to July 4 2016 on board the French research vessel the Pourquoi pas ? The objective is to sample a series of long sediment cores to reconstruct the frequency of catastrophic events such as volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, submarine mass movements and tsunamis in the area during the Quaternary. In collaboration with the researchers and students involved in the project, the candidate will mostly use the magnetic and physical properties of the sediments to characterize turbidites and other rapidly deposited layers in order to determine the trigger mechanism, as well as the influence of these layers on the magnetization acquisition process. The candidate will also play a key role in establishing the magnetostratigraphy of the collected cores.

Cheers,

Guillaume
