The University of \u00c9vora (Portugal) opens calls to award two Research Grants for a PhD student in the framework of the project \u201cPyroC.pt: Advanced wildfire modelling for risk assessment and pyroconvection understanding in Portugal\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Grant 1<\/b>: for a student with a Master’s degree in the field of agricultural, environmental or earth sciences to work on \u201cForest fuel mapping at high Resolution\u201d, \u201cCoupling SURFEX-Fuel Model\u201d and \u201cSeasonal wildfire risk assessment\u201d, including the following tasks:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
(i) Improvement of the characterization of forest fuel, participating in observation campaigns in the forest and using data from the Sentinel-2 satellite.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(ii) Integration of a parameterization of forest fuel in the surface model platform, SURFEX, used by weather forecast models.<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(iii) Development of a system for a seasonal risk assessment of forest fires based on SURFEX simulations forced by numerical weather forecasts.<\/span><\/div>\n

\nGrant 2<\/b>: for a student with a Master’s degree on Earth and Atmospheric sciences or related areas, to work on Wildfire modelling and pyroconvection including the following tasks:<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
\n
(i) Performing numerical simulations with the coupled Meso-NH – ForeFire model in order to reproduce the complex interaction between fire and atmosphere;<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(ii) Carry out simulations based on improved fuel models, seeking a better representation of forest fires and pyro-convection..<\/span><\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
(iii) Analyze the numerical results in order to obtain a better understanding of PyroCb clouds, which should be supported by remote sensing observations, namely from meteorological radar and lidar.<\/span><\/div>\n
