Fully Funded Scholarship For a PhD Project in Integrative Geophysics
The University of Western Australia (UWA)
Scholarship Information
Award value: AUD $37,000 annually
Level of study: Postgraduate
Closing date: 24 Mar 2025
We are looking to recruit up to three PhD students through the recently awarded Industry Fellowship for the Integrative geophysics Under cover: getting images of the Unknown Unknown project, supported by the Australia Research Council, the University of Western Australia (UWA), the Geological Survey of Western Australia (GSWA), and the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO). The goal of the project is to develop and extend new algorithms for integrating geophysical and geological data in undercover exploration scenarios at different scales, with applications to idealised and real-world data from Western Australia provided by GSWA. The methods to be investigated include geometrical (geophysical) inversion, trans-dimensional inversion, multi-physics integration, the integration of geophysical inversion with geological modelling.
