Supervisors: Rob Bingham, Eliza Calder and Lara Kalnins (School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh)

Controls on ice shelf thinning around the Antarctica and Greenland Ice Sheets (CASE)
Supervisors: Noel Gourmelen, Dan Goldberg (School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh), Monica Roca, Albert Garcia-Mondejar (isardSAT, Surrey Space Incubator, Guilford) and Mark Drinkwater (European Space Agency, ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands)

Imaging High Resolution Elevation from Satellite Altimetry for the study of the cryosphere (CASE)
Supervisors: Noel Gourmelen, Andrew Curtis, Flora Weissgerber (School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh) Monica Roca, Albert Garcia-Mondejar (isardSAT, Surrey Space Incubator, Guilford) and Mark Drinkwater (European Space Agency, ESTEC, Noordwijk, Netherlands)

Formation of sub-ice-shelf channels and their impact on ice-sheet stability (CASE)

Supervisors: Robert Bingham, Andrew Hein (School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh) and David Vaughan (British Antarctic Survey)

The role of supraglacial debris cover in affecting Himalayan glacier stability
Supervisors: Peter Nienow, Noel Gourmelen (School of GeoSciences, University of Edinburgh), Doug Benn (University of St Andrews) and Jemma Wadham (University of Bristol)

Note that the deadline for application is Thursday 11 January 2018, 12pm. To be eligible for a full award from the RCUK, a student must have no restrictions on how long they can stay in the UK and have been ordinarily resident in the UK for at least 3 years prior to the start of the studentship.
