PhD in Planetary Science: Coupled Interior–Atmosphere Evolution of Temperate Rocky Planets University of Geneva in Switzerland

Fully funded PhD opportunity in Planetary Science , Geophysics , Astronomy , and Earth Sciences at the University of Geneva in collaboration with ETH Zürich . The project is part of the NCCR Genesis Programme and focuses on how rocky planets evolve over billions of years, especially how a planet’s interior and atmosphere interact over deep time. The research will involve advanced numerical modelling of coupled planetary evolution, integrating the G-PCM climate model with the StagYY mantle convec...
