..can the past also be the key to the future?

Two Research Fellowships Available


The Pliocene Earth System Sensitivity (Plio-ESS) European Research Council Grant successfully won this year comes with two research Fellowship positions.

Two key 5 year research fellowships are now available as part of a 1.5 million euro project funded by the European Research Council that will derive estimates of climate and earth system sensitivity from palaeoclimate research.

The focus of the project ("Pliocene constraints on Earth System Sensitivity") is to use the last interval in Earth history when CO2 was at current or near future concentrations, to understand the likely equilibrium climate response to CO2.

Further details below and through the links provided. Closing date for applications: end of November.
