<p><font color="#330033">PhD projects are available in the
following broad areas<br>
</font></p>
<p><font color="#330033">1) Application of environmental isotopes
and major ions together with streamflow data and groundwater
elevations to understand the location and fluxes of
groundwater to rivers, the residence time of water in river
catchments, and whether different stores of water are
activated under different flow conditions. These projects
emphasise integration of geochemical and physical data to
achieve an understanding of key processes that impact the
water balance in rivers. Field areas are mainly in Victoria
(southeast Australia) and include a variety of river types
(ephemeral and perennial, headwater catchments, regulated and
unregulated).</font></p>
<p><font color="#330033">2) Using geochemical tracers to
understand processes in aquifer systems. The projects
integrate geochemistry, including stable and radioactive
isotopes and major ions, with groundwater flow to achieve an
understanding of processes such as the origins of solutes,
water-rock interaction, groundwater residence times,
inter-aquifer flow and recharge. The projects are based in a
range of aquifer systems in eastern Australia.</font></p>
<p><font color="#330033">Successful applicants will typically hold
an undergraduate degree based on at least 4 years of study,
including a significant research project component in the
fields of isotope hydrology or hydrogeochemistry. Monash PhD
scholarships are available to both Australian and
International students. These scholarships are highly
competitive and successful applicants must have First Class
Honours or MSc qualifications or their equivalent; additional
relevant research experience and/or research publications in
international journals is advantageous. Further information on
scholarships can be found at
<a href="http://www.monash.edu/migr/future-students/support/major" target="_blank">http://www.monash.edu/migr/future-students/support/major</a>. The
application deadline is October 31st 2015 for commencement in
early 2016.</font></p>
<p><font color="#330033">Applicants for whom English is not first
language, or who have not undertaken their degree studies with
English as the language of instruction, must attain a
satisfactory English language test score (TOEFL or IELTS)
before by November 30th.</font></p>
