Projects – GreenHouse Gas Research Group

Opportunities to work with or as part of the Greenhouse Gas Research Group will be posted here:

Currently applications are welcomed for short visits through the InGOS program.

Students wishing to pursue a Masters by Research program are encouraged to contact Dr Dave Lowry or Prof Euan Nisbet to discuss project options.

Currently we have no open Ph.D opportunities
