RainX: Downscaling and Prediction of Rainfall Extremes from Climate Model Outputs

The PhD project RainX will leverage climate modelling and extreme value theory to predict rainfall extremes - one of the grand challenges in climate change impact prediction. The full project description can be found on the ExaGEO website here.

Additional PhD Opportunities

There are several additional PhD opportunities offered in the doctoral training programme ExaGEO. Please consult the list of projects advertised on the ExaGEO website here.

Note

If you identified potential sources of funding and feel you would fit into the “Climate Dynamics Lab”, don’t hesitate to get in touch - we may be able to support you in your application. Feel free to contact us also if you already have other sources of funding and would like to join us.

Enquiries about Supervision

Enquiries about supervision are always welcome, esp. if your research interests fall into one of the following categories:

• Climate dynamics and climate change (past, present and future)

• Climate change impacts (e.g., how climate change affects glaciers, erosion, extreme events or health)

• Climate - landscape dynamics

• Numerical modelling and model development

• Data analysis, statistics, machine learning and AI

Browsing the list of ongoing and completed research projects may give you a better idea of the type of work typically supervised. However, future projects can go beyond this scope. Feel free to make suggestions and show your passion and creativity!
