Polar science helps us face the urgent challenge of climate change. With the Earth warming, ice melting, and the implications felt in rising sea levels and shifting global weather patterns, closing the gaps in our understanding of the cryosphere has never been more critical, demanding next-generation, low-carbon technology such as drones, AI/ML, digital twins, satellite technology and more. Taking on a PhD in net zero polar science is a fantastic opportunity to use to use and develop cutting edge technologies like these, and could take you to some of the Earth’s most beautiful landscapes. On this page we will share case studies of some of our PhD Researchers to show what a NZPS PhD could look like for you.
