The student will</div><div class="">compare GNSS observations to predictions from global Earth models</div><div class="">of deformation under loads derived from GRACE data. He/she will</div><div class="">develop new approaches to improve the Earth model so as to best</div><div class="">match vertical and horizontal geodetic observations. He/she will</div><div class="">investigate the physics that control eventual deviations from a</div><div class="">purely elastic Earth. Successful candidates must have a strong</div><div class="">background in geophysics and/or physics, and a solid background in</div><div class="">computing. They must meet doctoral admissions requirements of both</div><div class="">universities.
