PhD opportunity: Computational innovation for the energy transition: Bayesian stratigraphic correlation of subsurface data

• Durham University
• Durham, United Kingdom of Great Britain – England, Scotland, Wales
• 22 hours, 30 minutes ago

Understanding subsurface geology underpins the UK’s green energy transition by enabling technologies such as geothermal energy, carbon capture and storage, hydrogen containment, and the safe storage of nuclear waste. Our understanding of subterranean geological structure draws on geophysical, chemical and sedimentological data obtained from individual boreholes. Correlating geological formations between these boreholes traditionally uses visual methods. This subjective approach can struggle to integrate diverse datasets, and to quantify uncertainties. An objective and systematic approach to stratigraphic correlation that better predicts …

PhD opportunity: The origin of animals: Building a precise timeline from the geological record

• Durham University
• Durham, United Kingdom of Great Britain – England, Scotland, Wales
• 22 hours, 38 minutes ago

The Ediacaran–Cambrian transition saw the evolutionary appearance of complex macroscopic life and animal-dominated ecosystems. Yet, basic questions on the timing and sequence of evolutionary events during that period remain unresolved, due to the challenge of correlating a geological record that straddles multiple continents¹. Signatures of ocean chemistry, such as stable carbon isotopes (δ13C), in principle allow for the correlation of fossil-bearing sedimentary sections from different locations. However, such chemostratigraphic signals are typically aligned by visual inspection, and may not exclusively …
