Studying the earth s surface with seismic methods

The GFZ HELMHOLTZ-ZENTRUM FUR GEOFORSCHUNG in Belgium from Europe region has released this tender for Studying the earth s surface with seismic methods EnvSeis will train 12 early stage researchers ESRs in the emerging field of environmental seismology in which seismic methods are used to study processes at or near the Earth s surface such as landsliding river sediment transport debris flows and glacial processes Seismic techniques allow addressing challenges in the Earth surface sciences that are intractable by traditional observation methods The capacity of environmental seismology has been proven and first applications have been published Yet most current research in this field is conducted either by seismologists with an interest in Earth surface processes or by Earth surface scientists who learned basic seismic methods The DN EnvSeis will fully leverage the potential of environmental seismology by fusing these complementary perspectives Bringing together 10 leading research groups from 7 countries EnvSeis will train 12 ESRs in both seismology and Earth surface sciences to lay the ground for a next strong generation of environmental seismologists In their projects the ESRs will address outstanding challenges in natural hazards hydrology geomorphology and ocean sciences applying seismic techniques to study a broad range of landscapes and their processes including hillslopes channels glaciers coasts and oceans They will combine observation theory and numerical modelling to conduct ground-breaking science to develop new methods and software and deliver benchmark data sets As such they will set standards for using seismic methods in the Earth surface sciences in Europe and beyond establishing Europe as the leader in this newly emerging field Complementary training includes the involvement of stakeholder and media partnerships experience in organizing conferences and workshops as well as courses on transferable skills This will allow the ESRs to acquire a broad range of skills and experience to make them competitive for careers in research industry or public administration with tender notice no. 101073148 published on 10 Aug 2026. The tender is due to expire on 31 Aug 2026.
