Introduction
The Doctoral Program in Earth and Space Sciences is funded by FCT under the IDPASC-PT Program. Capacity to carry out research and original, autonomous research that broadens the frontier of knowledge in the areas of Earth Sciences, Atmosphere and Space; Ability to design, project, adapt and carry out a meaningful investigation respecting the requirements imposed by high quality standards of excellence; Ability to controlling various techniques and tools of advanced analysis and data processing in Earth, Atmosphere and Space Sciences; Ability to controlling modeling techniques and advanced numerical simulation in Earth, Atmosphere and Space Sciences; Ability to handle observational instrumentation and analysis and treatment of observed data; Ability to plan, collect and handle geophysical and geological field data; Ability to critically analyze, evaluate and synthesize new and complex ideas in this branch of knowledge.
Professional Careers
The offer of this PhD comes following the Master's degree in Sciences and Technology of Earth, Atmosphere and Space and the research being developed at the University of Évora at the Institute of Earth Sciences (ICT) and in the Departments of Physics and Geosciences. Advanced knowledge will be provided in four areas of expertise on the Earth, Atmosphere and Space subsystems and on observing, monitoring and modeling methodologies of these subsystems, with a strong interdisciplinary potential in emerging domains - from Natural and Technological Risks to the development of technologies of broad application spectrum used in national (eg LNEG, LNEC, IPMA, IH) and international institutions (eg ESO, ESA). This proposal aims, on the one hand, to offer more advanced training which is more homogeneous and, on the other, to adapt itself to the high level of competence of the University in these fields. This advanced training allows you to be an expert or unique consultant in areas such as: natural and technological risks (seismic, extreme weather and climate events, landslides, heavy pollution) to support sectors such as land, urban and industrial planning, heritage and archaeological planning, security and civil protection, among others.
