In the School of Ocean and Earth Science at the National Oceanography Centre Southampton you will join a community of >500 researchers and support staff drawn from across the sciences, with a strong focus the marine environment, to work on a project reconstructing ocean pH change across a key climate event in the recent geological past: the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM).</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">This post is funded through a multidisciplinary grant entitled “C-FORCE: Carbon-Cycle Feedbacks from Response to Carbon Emissions”, a Large Grant funded by the NERC and NSF-GEO involving 6 universities from the UK and US. The post will be line management by Prof Gavin Foster (<a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.southampton.ac.uk/oes/about/staff/glf1u08.page\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.southampton.ac.uk/oes/about/staff/glf1u08.page</a>) with regular meetings and interactions with the rest of the C-Force consortium led by Dr Sarah Greene (Birmingham; <a data-mz=\"\" href=\"https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/gees/greene-sarah.aspx\" rel=\"no-follow\">https://www.birmingham.ac.uk/staff/profiles/gees/greene-sarah.aspx</a>).</p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">Anthropogenic climate change has no ancient analogue but, in the last 60 million years, the hyperthermals of the early Cenozoic come the closest. Here you will apply the boron isotope pH proxy to quantify ocean acidification and CO2 change across the PETM as part of a wider effort by the C-FORCE consortium to constrain the roles of volcanic forcing and carbon cycle feedbacks as drivers of global environmental change. Unlike previous studies that used bulk measurements of foraminifera of deep-sea sediment cores, you will use laser ablation multicollector ICPMS of single specimens of benthic foraminifera collected from the Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain of the US to provide a uniquely high temporal resolution view of surface ocean pH change during the PETM. The geochemical data will be combined with modelling of the sediment mixing process coupled to biogeochemical modelling (cGENIE) carried out by our collaborators in C-FORCE, to fully quantify the carbon addition that accompanied the PETM and better constrain the nature of the onset of the event itself (e.g. was the onset associated with more than one pulses of carbon). </p>\n\n\n<p style=\"margin-bottom: 20px; font-family: san-serif;\">The School of Ocean and Earth Science is committed to create an inclusive and diverse scientific community (https://www.southampton.ac.uk/oes/about/equality-diversity-and-inclusion.page).
