[beasiswa] [info] PhD Scholarship in Ocean Engineering - Swinburne University of Technology Australia

PhD Scholarship in Ocean Engineering Development of a Global Ocean Database
from Satellite Altimeters

*Victoria, Australia*

*BACKGROUND:
*Swinburne University of Technology (SUT) is seeking a suitably qualified
student to undertake post-graduate study to develop an altimeter database
for ocean waves and apply it to investigation of extreme wave events.

*About Swinburne University of Technology
*Swinburne University of Technology is a large multi-sectoral and
multi-campus institution with a stated mission to be a pre-eminent
entrepreneurial university from the Asia-Pacific, thriving on new ideas and
knowledge and exploiting its intersectoral heritage to create value for its
stakeholders.

The Faculty of Engineering and Industrial Sciences is host to most of the
engineering activities at Swinburne as well as key programs in aviation and
photonics. The Coastal Engineering and Physical Oceanography group of the
Faculty specialises in research of deep-water and finite-depth wave
dynamics, spectral modelling of wind-generated waves, wave breaking and
dissipation, air-sea interaction, wave-bottom interaction and turbulence.

*PROJECT ABSTRACT:
*Over the past 20 years satellite-based radar altimeters have made
measurements of ocean wave conditions. During this period of time a total of
7 different altimeter missions have been flown. The combined database
represents the most comprehensive dataset ever developed of global wave
conditions. This project involves developing a combined database from these
separate missions and then applying this to the determination of extreme
wave conditions at any location on the global oceans. The resulting database
has the potential to drastically change the way in which ocean wave design
is undertaken.

*SELECTION CRITERIA*

1. Degree in Engineering, Computer Science or Mathematical Sciences
(essential)
2. Strong analytical and mathematical skills (essential)
3. A good working knowledge of programming and databases (desirable)

*Commencement Date: *March 2008

*Scholarship:* A$24,815 per annum, tax exempt. Duration – three years

*Application deadline: *31 January 2008
