The Division of Marine Science of the University of Southern Mississippi (USM) invites applicants for a Ph.D. study in internal gravity waves (Physical Oceanography) starting in summer/fall 2024. Internal waves are generated by tides and wind and propagate through the world’s oceans. Their turbulent dissipation contributes to water mass mixing, which is relevant for the overturning circulation, global climate, and the dispersal of sediments, nutrients, and chemicals. We seek a skilled and motivated individual to work on the National Science Foundation funded project “Collaborative Research: Probing internal gravity wave dynamics and dissipation using global observations and numerical simulations” (OCE 2319143).

A position as an Assistant Project Scientist is available in the Earth Research Institute and the Department of Geography at the University of California, Santa Barbara.

Magnus Group is the organiser of the “4th Edition of World Aquaculture and Fisheries Conference” (WAC 2024) which is going to take place during June 24-26, 2024 as a Hybrid Event having both online and in-person versions at Paris, France. The congress will be centred on the theme “Revolutionizing Aquaculture and Fisheries: A Novel Outlook.” WAC conference was established as a knowledge-sharing platform to highlight the possibility and distinctiveness of small-scale artisanal fisheries and aquaculture, as well as the advantage that can be gained by fostering collaborations and cooperation with fish farmers and workers, as well as the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

WMU’s MSc programme emphasizes the practical application of expertise. It offers both an overview of the complex, inter-related maritime and ocean fields, as well as the opportunity to specialize. The programme is designed to respond directly to the real needs of the maritime industry, and to equip graduates with the skills needed today and in the future. It is academically challenging and professionally oriented, and is designed for ambitious, mid-career maritime professionals. It provides a particularly strong foundation for those intending to move into either a national or an international career.
