DTU Tenure Track Researcher in Ice sheet and glacier modelling in Greenland
4 days ago
The Geodesy and Earth Observation division at DTU Space invites applications from skilled and experienced researchers to work on Greenland Ice Sheet changes. The role focuses on developing advanced methods to enhance the understanding of the Greenland Ice Sheet, peripheral glaciers, and their contribution to sea level rise using finite element models such as the Ice-sheet and Sea-level System Model (ISSM), field observations, and various remote sensing products.
The division of Geodesy and Earth Observation at DTU Space is renowned for its outstanding work on the Physical modelling of the solid Earth, ice sheets, sea level and GNET data to better understand ice-solid earth interaction with the aim to develop dynamic reference frames and integrated models, pushing the boundaries of fundamental research and practical applications.
