PhD Projects

Logo FluxBEATS

GEOMAR is partner in the upcoming EU Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) funded Doctoral Network "FluxBEATS – Fluxes at divergent plate Boundary Environments Analyzed in Time and Space" in collaboration with the unversities of Helsinki (Finland), Bergen (Norway), Münster (Germany), Politecnico di Torino (Italy), Claude Benard Lyon 1 (France) and the Geological Survey of Finland. A total of ten doctoral research projects will be advertised soon and two of them will be based at GEOMAR within our group and the seafloor modelling group.
