Roger Michaelides | Environmental Studies (wustl.edu)

The successful candidate will use a combination of spaceborne and airborne interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) data to characterize permafrost, wildfire, and surface hydrology interactions across the Alaskan Arctic. The Radar Interferometry and Geospatial Science Laboratory (‘Radar Lab’) employs a variety of remote sensing instruments and geospatial techniques to study dynamic surface processes and environmental Earth system properties, with an emphasis on the Arctic and permafrost landscapes. The Radar lab has an emphasis on working with radar remote sensing and imaging modalities (e.g. InSAR, SAR, radar altimetry, and ground-penetrating radar), but also uses LiDAR, hyperspectral, and optical remote sensing techniques in conjunction with fieldwork.

Please contact Roger Michaelides (roger.michaelides@wustl.edu) directly if interested in learning more about this opportunity, or other PhD opportunities in the Radar Lab. Please visit https://eeps.wustl.edu/graduate for details on the graduate program in the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Planetary Sciences. All application materials must be received by December 1st 2023 for consideration, but applicants are encouraged to apply early and reach out directly to Roger Michaelides to discuss the position and any questions.
