field model based on satellite magnetic field measurements</strong></div><div><strong><br></strong></div>
<div>
<div>The position is a 3 years PhD position and is funded in the
framework of the DFG (German Research Foundation) priority program
"Dynamic Earth", SPP1788: <a href="https://www.spp-dynamicearth.de/" rel="noopener" target="_blank">https://www.spp-dynamicearth.de/</a></div>
<div>Studying Earth’s lithospheric magnetic field is an effective way to
infer information about the composition, structure and tectonic
evolution of Earth's lithosphere. The aim of this project is to develop a
global lithospheric magnetic field model that will be broadly used by
the scientific community. It will be based on satellite magnetic field
measurements from the CHAMP and Swarm missions and supported by data
from the AMPERE satellite project. Particular weight will be placed on
methodological advances concerning two current challenges in
lithospheric magnetic field modeling: i) how to reduce leakage of
ionospheric and magnetospheric origin into the model, especially over
the polar regions, and ii) how to
achieve a robust estimate of the model's uncertainties. This
high-performance model is expected to lead to significant advances in
the study of Earth’s magnetic environment and Earth’s lithosphere. The
PhD candidate will be co-supervised in the fields of
geomagnetism, satellite data processing and inversion techniques by
scientists of GFZ and University of Potsdam. Applicants should upload a
letter of motivation, a CV and a copy of the certificate (Master's
degree or equivalent) that qualifies them for a PhD position and ask two
referees to send a letter of recommendation to <a href="https://webmail.gfz-potsdam.de/Session/307050-jMwdb0zWVQxfq8RJqU7l-hojqgjv/webmail.wssp#"
