Doctoral Thesis grants for earth sciences under the UNESCO - IFPEN partnership

UNESCO and the IFP Energies Nouvelles (IFPEN) in October 2020 in support of earth science research and education. One of the objectives of this cooperation is aiming at training students in better understanding the interlinkage between earth sciences and the sustainable use of natural resources.
In this framework, UNESCO and IFPEN offer 5 Doctoral thesis grants on the following subjects:
- the impact of sulfur and carbon interactions in marine sediments on biogenic and geothermal methane emissions;
- the influence of global warming on permafrost;
- the impact of alteration on rock hydromechanical properties;
- the groundwater and landscape erosion due to climate change;
- the dynamic of organic and inorganic carbon in carbonated soils.
UNESCO Delegations and National Commissions are kindly invited to distribute this information amongst their relevant academic networks and research facilities and nominate motivated and talented students interested in earth sciences topics to UNESCO IGGP Secretariat: o.adiyaman(at)unesco.org and IFPEN (mickaele.le-ravalec@ifpen.fr).
For further information on the Doctoral thesis opportunities and the topics:
- Lean more about UNESCO’’s collaboration with IFPEN on energy transition and call for Doctoral thesis in a joint keynote presentation from Dr. Ozlem Adiyaman Lopes (UNESCO) and Dr. Mickaele Le RAVALEC (IFPEN).
