The following is a description of expected profiles of graduate students in the Min Laboratory of UTMSI.
Possible research areas:
1. Ocean
circulation
and ventilation, and impact of climate change using chemical tracers
(open ocean & marginal seas)
2. Groundwater study using chemical tracers
3. Coastal ocean observation (Aransas Pass tidal inlet, Gulf offshore
survey)
4. Climate-related atmospheric trace gas
observation in salt marsh and wetlands (e.g. methyl halides)
5. Non-conservative behaviour of halocarbons in aquatic environment
6. Large-scale data analysis (global or basin-scale ocean oxygen
analysis using statistical methods)
Desired
abilities:
- Independent and self
motivated
attitude, strong communication skills
- One who is able to work as part of a research team
- Strong background in chemistry, environmental geochemistry,
or oceanography
- Experience of chemical analysis and/or
instrumentation
- Quantitative skills in basic mathematics
and statistics
- Computer
experience with Linux (or UNIX)
- Experience with data analysis programs (e.g. Matlab) or programming
language would be an asset
