"Postdoctoral Position in High-Latitude Climate Dynamics at the University of Victoria We are seeking an engaged, enthusiastic individual for a postdoctoral research position investigating the dynamics of high-latitude climates. The researcher will explore the workings of Arctic and Antarctic climate broadly, and may consider any (or all, time permitting) of the following scientific directions in high-latitude climate change: (1) the impact of dynamic atmospheric processes during the shoulder seasons (fall and spring) on the onset of sea ice growth and melt; (2) the role of atmosphere-ocean coupled dynamic processes in amplifying polar climate change in winter; and (3) the impact of atmospheric moisture transport, and cloud feedback processes, in polar climate change through the seasons. Other research directions on the dynamics of polar climate change are also possible." Do not apply via Facebook. Application deadline: October 15, 2019.

In partnership with the City of Pasadena, Zhan and his team are taking unused strands of optical fiber in the city’s telecommunication cables and turning those strands into the equivalent of 5,000 sensors. With so many data points grouped so closely together, scientists can watch a quake propagate in a way that is impossible with current networks, where sensors are kilometers apart. The map above shows the full extent of the Pasadena Array planned for October 2019. With success, Zhan hopes to set up similar networks in other cities. #article-Listening-with-Light" rel="nofollow">https://breakthrough.caltech.edu/magazine/2019-aug/#article-Listening-with-Light
