PDRA to analyse measurements of iodine in polar - York, United Kingdom - University of York
Description
Role
You will investigate the potential for iodine in snow to be released to the atmosphere via different mechanisms, to be investigated in the laboratory. Also, you will investigate the open-ocean sources of iodine by co-ordinating kinetic flow tube studies experiments studying the ozone-ocean-iodine system. Working with modellers to interpret the data from the MOSAiC project and other relevant data sets, and with the wider project team including postdoctoral research associates and PhD students.
