Research opportunities for PhD students Marine Earth & Atmospheric Sciences

A number of research opportunities exist for graduate (PhD) work at the department of Marine Earth & Atmospheric Sciences, North Carolina State University involving:

1. Development, application and evaluation of coupled chemistry-transport model for the production of water-soluble iron (DFe) in ambient particles. Student responsibilities will involve implementation of new pathways for Fe solubilization in the existing GEOS-Chem dust iron mobilization mechanism. Simulations will be
conducted for improved assessment of assessments of DFe fluxes to the oceans.

2. Development, application and evaluation of advanced 3-D atmospheric chemistry-aerosol- cloud model. Student responsibilities will involve implementation of new, physically based marine primary and secondary organic aerosol emission, aerosol activation paprameterization, and improved secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formation modules.
