PhD Researcher in Satellite-Based Greenhouse Gas Emission Monitoring
2 weeks ago
DTU Sustain is hiring a PhD student to build a national greenhouse gas emission monitoring system combining satellite-based GHG observations and ground-truth emission verification.
Are you passionate about big data and digital solutions and want to combat climate change? The project aims to investigate how we can use satellite remote sensing data to monitor greenhouse emissions in Denmark and bridge expertise from DTU Space and DTU Sustain.
You will work with applications of multi-spectral satellite data to enable a GHG detection tool with national coverage and high temporal and spatial resolution. For verification, you will use data from DTU research infrastructures and DTU's high-performance computing center.
Responsibilities and Qualifications
The project takes the initial steps to build a national GHG emission monitoring system combining satellite-based GHG observations and ground-truth emission verification. The resulting applications include mapping of GHG concentrations, quantification of emission rates, and direct attribution to emission sectors at local to regional scales.
You will:
- Retrieve large quantities of acquired satellite observed GHG concentration data and develop methods to consolidate satellite measurements to an overarching and analyzable dataset.
- Develop algorithms for flux/emission estimation.
- Verify satellite-based atmospheric GHG column concentration retrievals and satellite-based emission estimates using GHG concentrations and fluxes from tall monitoring towers located in Denmark.
A successful candidate will have knowledge about satellite remote sensing, preferably with multi-spectral data, GHGs, Earth atmosphere, and atmospheric modeling. You should also have experience with analysis of satellite data or other large datasets and solid programming skills in languages like Python.
You will participate in the department's teaching activities and expected to have a two-year master's degree or a similar degree with an academic level equivalent to a two-year master's degree.
Appointment and Enrolment
The scholarship for the PhD degree is subject to academic approval, and the candidate will be enrolled in one of the general degree programmes at DTU.
DTU is a leading technical university globally recognized for the excellence of its research, education, innovation, and scientific advice.
