[ES_JOBS_NET] PhD opportunity: remote sensing of pastures

[Pedram Rowhani]

Dear all,
“Towards forecast-based preparedness action” (ForPAc<http://www.forpac.org/>) is DfID/NERC-funded research consortium working on early warning and humanitarian action. At the University of Sussex, we are seeking a PhD candidate to work closely with ForPAc to assess the potential of new earth observation datasets (e.g., Sentinel) to deliver near real-time monitoring and prediction of useful and accessible biomass for pastoralism.
More information can be found here: http://www.imperial.ac.uk/media/imperial-college/faculty-of-engineering/civil/public/phd-opportunities/Sussex_Resilience.pdf

This project is suitable for students with a degree in physical geography, ecology or environmental science with some experience in using earth observation data. Students will be mainly working in a unix programming environment with R, python or similar, previous experience is desired but not essential.

For informal discussion about this studentship please contact: P.Rowhani at sussex.ac.uk

Many thanks,
Pedram Rowhani
