<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif;color:#000000">Hello, I am looking for a PhD student to join a research project on Asian dust. The student will work with a wide range of data sets and Earth system model experiments to study the variability of Asian dust and the governing roles of climate and land use changes (e.g., deforestation, afforestation, land fragmentation), as well as the climate and air quality implications of dust aerosol emission in the context of agricultural expansion and rapid industrialization. The student will have the opportunity to develop novel statistical an<span style="font-family:arial,sans-serif"><font size="2">d machine learning approaches to work with a complex set of data variables and sources. Such skills are also highly sought after in the private industry. The applicant is expected to have a BS or MS in Atmospheric
Sciences, Remote Sensing, Physics, or related disciplines. Interested
applicants are encouraged to contact Dr. Xin Xi (<a href="mailto:xinxi@mtu.edu" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">xinxi@mtu.edu</span></a>) for questions about the project and/or applications. Applicants should apply through the Atmospheric
Science PhD program (<a href="https://www.mtu.edu/atmospheric/" target="_blank"><span style="color:blue">https://www.mtu.edu/atmospheric/</span></a>) at Michigan Tech. There is no application fee. </font></span>
