The Union Ministry of Earth Sciences has requested India's Arctic, Antarctic, and Himalayan research results to be included in school textbooks, with new curriculum framework to reinstate topics. #NCERT #Arctic #Antarctic

For the first time, NSF-funded researchers revealed a detailed look at the potential for a major earthquake off the coasts of southern British Columbia, Washington, Oregon and northern California. The new study characterizes the Cascadia Subduction Zone, which includes the "megathrust" fault, where the largest earthquakes initiate and spread, to inform potential earthquake and tsunami hazards.

CALL FOR RESEARCH PROPOSALS: FAPESP Young Investigator Grant on South Atlantic Ocean and Antarctic Sciences The FAPESP Program for the South Atlantic Ocean and Antarctic sciences (PROASA) aims to contribute to the generation, dissemination, and application of knowledge through scientific, technological, and innovative approaches in two interconnected yet still little-known planetary compartments (the South Atlantic Ocean and Antarctica). These compartments modulate processes that positively and negatively influence the potential for sustainable development in the State of São Paulo, Brazil, and the world. Therefore, PROASA considers initiatives focused on coastal and marine environments in the South Atlantic, under and beyond national jurisdiction, and on Antarctica, which includes the Antarctic continent and the Southern Ocean (or Antarctic Ocean). The PROASA aims to contribute to the advancement of knowledge and its application to confront planetary crises and promote sustainable development. With this Call for Proposals, the São Paulo Research Foundation – FAPESP – wants to bring in up to five researchers who are early in their careers and excel in their specific fields of knowledge. Proposals will be received under FAPESP's Young Investigator Grant support opportunity, aimed at establishing new scientific leadership in the state, only through the SAGe system. This Call is open for proposals from researchers working abroad (Brazilian or not) who wish to start a research career at a research institution located in the State of São Paulo. It seeks to stimulate the creation of opportunities, under internationally competitive conditions, for young researchers with exceptional research backgrounds. Proponents must demonstrate achievements after their doctorate research that indicate leadership capacity and great potential for developing new research groups. A clear international insertion is important, along with an impact on the ongoing research at São Paulo State. Priority is given to topics not yet covered by researchers in the state or that complement themes already being explored.

📢 Calling all early-career ocean professionals: the São Paulo Research Foundation, FAPESP, has launched its first call for proposals for its South Atlantic and Antarctica Program. The Program aims to contribute to the generation, dissemination, and application of knowledge through scientific, technological, and innovative approaches in two interconnected yet still little-known planetary compartments: the South Atlantic Ocean and Antarctica. ➡️ The call is for initiatives focused on coastal and marine environments in the South Atlantic, under and beyond national jurisdiction, and on Antarctica, which includes the Antarctic continent and the Southern Ocean (or Antarctic Ocean). ➡️ The call is open for proposals from researchers working abroad, whether they are Brazilian or not, who wish to start a research career at a research institution located in the State of São Paulo, Brazil. It seeks to stimulate the creation of opportunities, under internationally competitive conditions, for young researchers with exceptional research backgrounds. The Program was designed to match the #OceanDecade objective of delivering the science we need for the ocean we want. Find more information here: https://ow.ly/hcB650TFs9b

PhD opportunity: "Extreme rock-ice avalanches in Cordillera Blanca, Peru" at the Institute of Earth Sciences (ISTerre), University of Grenoble Alpes, France. ----- The project aims to understand the interaction between climate change, permafrost degradation, and rock-ice avalanches in the region of the Rio Santa (Cordillera Blanca). The Peruvian Andes are currently experiencing global warming, glacial retreat, and permafrost degradation. These dramatic changes increase the rate of natural hazards such as ice falls, glacial lake outburst floods (GLOFs), and rock avalanches, which generally occur in the highest reliefs but often reach towns and villages in the lower valleys. These hazards have been responsible for tens of thousands of casualties in the region of the Rio Santa since the 1950s, including some of the deadliest natural disasters of the last century: rock-ice avalanches initiated on the northern summit of Huascaran (6,768 m). The successful PhD candidate will use a combination of field geomorphology, remote sensing, and geochronological approaches to link ancient avalanches to past climatic oscillations identified over the last hundred thousand years. They will participate in field excursions in Peru in collaboration with Peruvian partners (INGEMMET/INAIGEM). The project is co-funded by the French National Center for Space Studies (CNES) and the PEPR IRIMA (Priority Exploratory Research Program and Equipment for Integrated Risk Management for More Resilient Societies in the Era of Global Change), led by CNRS, BRGM, and the University of Grenoble Alpes. PhD supervisors are Julien Carcaillet ([email protected]), Swann Zerathe ([email protected]), and Benjamin Lehmann ([email protected]). The net salary is about €20,640 annually, making it suitable to live and enjoy the beautiful mountainous surroundings of Grenoble. Please send your curriculum (CV), cover letter, recent scientific productions, and 2 reference letters. Applications should be submitted through the link below, by March 15th, 2024, Midnight Paris time! Please find information here: https://lnkd.in/eGSRrFjs --------- Good luck!

Ph.D. student Erick Palafox has been featured on American Geophysical Union (AGU)'s science magazine Eos for his pioneering research in applying uranium-lead dating to determine the age of Earth's fossil soils. This breakthrough deepens our understanding of our planet's geological history and climate evolution.
