The University of Stockholm is currently seeking a PhD student to undertake a project on the remote sensing of ice shelves in East Antarctica. The project is part of the Swedish Polar Research Secretariat’s Antarctic research theme iQ2300 led by Stockholm University. iQ2300 (https://www.polar.se/en/expeditions/iq2300-202526/) is an international, multi-disciplinary research theme which aims to reduce uncertainties in projections of sea level rise by the year 2300. The project will use data collected from field expeditions and remote sensing on the Dronning Maud Land margin to address key knowledge gaps that limit our ability to model Antarctic ice sheet responses to future climate.

The PhD project is based at Stockholm University but includes close collaboration with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and is financed by the Swedish National Space Agency.
