Earth Surface Research Fellowship University Southampton August 2012

Earth Surface Research Fellowship University Southampton August 2012 Scholarship to Research Other is needed to help with perform on a NERC financed research Weather and Autogenic Manages on the Morphodynamics of Mega-Rivers: Acting Sediment Flux in the Alluvial Exchange Zone(STELAR-S2S). The publish will be organised in Location and Atmosphere at the School of Southampton, but the perform will also include near cooperation with associates at the Colleges of Exeter and Shell. 

The venture is designed to offer the first complete quantification of the controls on riverine deposit fluxes for one of the globe's biggest estuaries and waterways (the Mekong), resulting in new general knowing of the connections between weather conditions variation, fluvial procedures & deposit flux to deltaic areas & the sea. This will be obtained using a new simulator design to evaluate the consequences of weather conditions and morphological controls on all personal elements (and at sub-annual resolution) of the Mekong’s alluvial deposit transfer funds. The design will be parameterised and verified using specific and focused area information that will be gathered during the venture, and the design will be run to discover traditional styles of within-reach deposit fluxes over a multi-decadal interval.
