  The Chair of Hydrology and Water Resources Management is inviting you to join us in exploring how to improve predictions of sediment pathways and budgets in river basins. We have two PhD openings in Zurich on data-driven geomorphology and hydrology-sediment modelling.   Project background   Sediment performs several critical functions for river, coastal and marine ecosystems, it generates natural hazards like erosion, debris flows and landslides, and forms floodplains with unique functions for humans and ecosystems. However, much remains unknown about the details of where are the sediment sources and sinks in the landscape, the pathways that connect them, and when and how they are activated – especially insofar as quantitative predictions of sediment fluxes at the river basin scale are concerned. We are an interdisciplinary team consisting of a hydrology-sediment modelling group (Molnar, ETH Zurich) and a geology-geomorphology group...

The Chair of Alpine Mass Movements is part of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (D-BAUG) at ETH Zurich and the WSL Institute for Snow and Avalanche Research SLF which is part of the Swiss Federal Institute for Forest, Snow and Landscape Research WSL and thus of the ETH Domain. In our group, we develop numerical models and experimental facilities to better understand the initiation and dynamics of alpine mass movements such as snow avalanches, debris flows and rockfalls. Our research contributes to improve risk assessment and management procedures related to gravitational mass movements in alpine regions and mitigate their impacts. Project background Instabilities in glaciers and rock walls can trigger complex process chains involving rock, ice and snow avalanches and outburst floods. Global warming could contribute to an increase in the frequency and magnitude of such catastrophic events. Their anticipation is thus of utmost importance to...

You are invited for a PhD position in the Air Quality and Particle Technology group (Dr. J. Wang). You will matriculate in ETH Zürich and will also work at Empa, Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Testing and Research.Position starting from May 2023 or upon agreement.

City growth is something that happens in high-rise as much as horizontally. Measuring the housing stock in block-wise or building-wise detail is one way of mapping out city growth by metrics that go far beyond macro descriptions such as city-wide population growth or changes of administrative borders. However, in most regions and countries the detail for mapping out city changes in terms of housing stock in 3D is lacking from administrative data. Satellite images and remote-sensing data are an option to fill this void. However, as satellite data provide 2D images only, machines need to be trained to map these images into 3D, possibly through a compilation of google-earth-type street-view data and satellite images. Doing so can provide details on cities that permit studying changes at a level that lie beyond the opportunities of administrative city data. Job description The first task is, you will support the project team in data collection, preprocessing and...
