Beskrivelse
About the job
For a position as a PhD Candidate, the goal is a completed doctoral education up to an obtained doctoral degree.
The NTNU Department of Geoscience and Petroleum (IGP) is looking for a highly motivated, independent geo-scientist for a full-time three-year PhD student position on the topic ' DEForming CONtinental margins (DEFCON): Post-Caledonides to breakup crustal evolution of the NE Atlantic - insights from deformable plate reconstructions '.
These last two decades, our knowledge about extensional processes and rifting has evolved significantly, allowing improved assessment of frontier regions. However, uncertainties remain, notably regarding the crustal evolution through time. Although of primary importance for evaluating the deformation history, the crustal tectonic history remains poorly constrained for some specific time periods. On the Norwegian Continental Shelf, this is typically the case for the time period covering the post-orogenic collapse (mid-Devonian-Carboniferous), early rifting (Permo-Triassic) to crustal necking (Jurassic-early Cretaceous). New ways to model the temporal and spatial evolution of crustal thinning and basin formation across rift systems are needed.
The goal of this project is to build fragmented tectonic plate models for the margins of the northeastern North Atlantic and use them in deformable plate reconstructions. These models will better capture inherited structures and internal deformation - within and along each rift, margin segment and microcontinent - and will be used to generate more realistic crustal reconstructions that can be compared against present-day constraints.
The PhD candidate will have to work with seismic reflection interpretation, potential field modelling incl. gravity inversion, and plate reconstructions.
The total duration of the Ph.D. position is three years, ideally starting by autumn/end of 2024. The PhD candidate will be based in the Geology research group at the Department of Geoscience and Petroleum (IGP), Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) based in Trondheim, Norway. Possible shorter scientific stays (1-4 weeks) at the Memorial University (St John's Newfoundland, Canada) will be planned.
Your immediate leader is Head of department.
