PhD projects available:

1. Petrology of the Auckland Volcanic Field (AVF)
The volcanology, mineralogy and geochemistry of the AVF has been generally described and this project will focus on detailed studies (mineral chemistry, melt inclusions, isotopes, trace element modelling) which will lead to an understanding of how the mantle yields small scale melts and how these melts become modified during their rise to the surface. The successful applicant will have an interest in volcanic rocks, mineralogy and geochemistry; an ability to apply mathematical models will be an advantage. He or she will be expected to work closely with the PhD candidate working on the complementary project investigating physical controls of monogenetic volcanism.
Research team: Ian Smith (ie.smith@auckland.ac.nz), Colin Wilson, Steve Blake, Jan Lindsay

2. Physical controls on monogenetic basaltic volcanism
This project focuses on developing a quantitative understanding of the physical controls on monogenetic basaltic volcanism. The focus will be on the Auckland Volcanic Field, but suitable ancient analogues will also be targeted. The successful candidate will undertake field investigations to improve the current structural and tectonic model for the Auckland volcanic Field, and determine the relationship, if any, between tectonics and volcanism in this region. From a strong foundation in field observation, the candidate will formulate models for the transport of magma through the crust and test these using numerical simulations. This project provides an opportunity to produce innovative insights into how monogenetic volcanism evolves and varies in both time and space. Applicants for this PhD project should have a strong foundation in structural geology, tectonics and volcanology, and a high level of numeracy. The successful applicant will be expected to work closely with the PhD candidate working on the complementary project investigating the petrology of the Auckland Volcanic Field.
Research team: Julie Rowland (j.rowland@auckland.ac.nz), Colin Wilson, Steve Blake

3. Quaternary crypto-tephra study of sediments in Auckland maars
Auckland Volcanic Field maars contain excellent sequences of laminated lake sediments with numerous tephra layers from local and distant volcanoes, spanning the last 50,000 years. A candidate is needed to construct a tephrostratigraphic record of ash fall based on crypto-tephra (microscopic ash) layers. The purpose is to assess the past frequency and sources of ash fall in Auckland for hazard analysis. The project will involve the extraction and geochemical analysis of glass shards from sediment cores. A background in lake sediment cores; micro-geochemical analysis or tephra studies could be an advantage, but is not required.
Research Team: Phil Shane (pa.shane@auckland.ac.nz), Paul Augustinus, Graham Leonard, Jan Lindsay

2. Be an U.S. citizen.
3. Demonstrate or express a genuine interest in a career in naval engineering, e.g. a student membership in a professional engineering, extra-curricular engineering activities, etc.
4. Graduate student applicants must be members of ASNE.

Selection criteria will be based on the candidate’s academic record, work history, professional promise and interest in naval engineering, extracurricular activities, and recommendations of college faculty, employers, and other character references. Financial need may also be considered.

The next awards will be for the college year starting in the fall of 2007. Applications are due by close of business on16 February, 2007. The ASNE Scholarship Committee will complete the selection process to make the announcement of the awards in early May. All applicants will be notified by letter. When appropriate, the award may be made at an ASNE Section meeting. The award will be in the form of a check for the first academic period, payable jointly to the awardee and the college or university the student will attend. The letter will require the awardee to forward the check to the college or university and to furnish transcripts showing satisfactory performance to the Society as a basis for the second increment of the award for the next academic period. The letter will further require that in the event that the awardee withdraws from his academic program with a tuition refund, the Society will receive a proportionate share of the refund.
As a further means of encouraging interest in a career in naval engineering, all ASNE Scholars and Alternates are awarded one-year honorary student memberships.

The School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Arts offers a PhD scholarship with focus on the organisation, design and meaning of outdoor space in the planning of residential areas and residences. The project will be implemented at the Center for Public Space Research and the Research Group for Residential Areas at the Institute of Planning of the School of Architecture at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts that focuses on landscape, urban space, residential areas and homes, and planning and the environment. It is linked to the Centre for Housing and Welfare, Realdania Research/University of Copenhagen.

Subject
The organisation, design and meaning of outdoor space in the planning of residential areas and residences.

In the relationship between the outdoor spaces and the intimate sphere of residences in the site plan, questions are raised regarding the relationship between public and private, stability and flexibility, uniformity and individuality, programme and form. The concrete design of the exterior space of residential areas is a central aspect of the experience and evaluation of both the site plan, as well as the quality, value and functionality of the individual residence.

While the organisation of residential homes can to a higher extent be based on individual needs, the private sphere and specific life situations, common needs, public access and use, and a uniform architectural expression have traditionally been dealt with in the organisation and design of outdoor space at the scale of the site plan for residential areas. At the same time the total plan is expected to create the framework for, and answer to, individual needs and wishes. The outdoor space of building planning can therefore be described as both representative and experienced/lived space.

The relationship between the common ­ the shared and social ­ and the individual as expressed in the spatial organisation and in the distribution of programmes in the building plan has historically been weighted and expressed in different ways and implemented in different types of site plans. This aspect attracts special attention in relation to both new building types and the transformation of existing site plans.

The relation between the programme and the form of outdoor space is expected to express and handle other forms of flexibility and accessibility than the demands made by specific family, work and interior design situations can claim in relation to the planned flexibility and accessibility of the residence.

In addition, the concept of sustainability raises a number of questions related to different types of site plans, and to the location, functional content and detailing of outdoor space. The transformation of existing residential areas also seems to demand specific consideration in relation to the concept of sustainablity in both the plan and the details, as well as in overall perception and understanding.

The project should address the definition and interpretation of concepts, and the factors and qualities such as flexibility, stability, the common and the individual, accessibility and sustainability in relation to both new plan types and the transformation of existing site plans, and the organisation, design and meaning of outdoor space, as well as putting these issues into a perspective relating to the planning of residential areas.

It is expected that where, how and in which ways these concepts are defined, localised and manifested is examined through, among other methods, case studies, theoretical perspectivisation and reflection that also includes the relationship between design and the societal context in which it is found.

It is expected that an arguement for the project focus and choice of case studies is made within the application.

The PhD student will be associated with the Center for Public Space Research and the Research Group for Residential Areas at the School of Architecture.

This group will, together with the Doctoral School at the School of Architecture, be responsible for the guidance of the PhD student.
