EU-funded Ph.D fellowship on DAS for marine geophysics
Anthony S.
The PhD project focuses on the imagery of seabed sediments and sub-surface properties using Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) measurement. The project aims to develop an improved near-surface tomography procedure based on DAS technology and various types of sources. This involves studying the impact of acquisition design, considering variations in cable-seafloor coupling conditions, addressing various noise sources to increase the usable frequency band, optimizing data processing techniques, and refining the inversion process for inferring seabed properties. The methodology will be tested against numerical simulations and active seismic imaging.
This PhD project is part of the MSCA Doctoral Network SEASOUNDS (Innovative marine soundscape characterization to effectively mitigate ocean and sea noise pollution, Grant agreement no. 101119769), coordinated by CNRS (France), which aims to better characterize and predict marine soundscapes, to provide recommendations for appropriate and proportionate underwater noise mitigation solutions, for improved know-how, decision-making and standards setting for a sustainable Blue Growth limiting the impact on marine wildlife.
The fellowship and program provide excellent working conditions, including a competitive salary, a supportive working environment, interaction, and visits to other research labs across Europe.
