Coastal and Urban Geomorphology Researcher (Remote Sensing & GIS Focus)

Job Title:

• Investigate coastal geomorphological dynamics (e.g., erosion, sediment transport, sea-level rise impacts) and urban landscape evolution using remote sensing (RS) and GIS technologies.
• Analyze multi-temporal satellite imagery (e.g., Landsat, Sentinel, Lidar) and aerial data to quantify geomorphological changes in coastal and urban environments.
• Develop predictive models of shoreline changes, urban subsidence, and flood-risk zones using geospatial tools (e.g., ArcGIS Pro, QGIS, ERDAS IMAGINE).
• Conduct field validation studies in coastal/urban sites and integrate ground-truth data with RS analysis.
• Publish findings in high-impact journals (Q1/ISI) and present at international conferences.
• Collaborate with interdisciplinary teams on climate adaptation and hazard mitigation projects.

• MSc/PhD in Geomorphology, Physical Geography, Geosciences, or related field.
• Expertise in RS/GIS software:
• Advanced proficiency in ArcGIS, ENVI, Google Earth Engine, and Python/R for geospatial analysis.
• Experience with digital terrain modeling (DTM/DEM), change detection, and spectral indices (e.g., NDVI, NDWI).
• Demonstrated research in coastal geomorphology (e.g., dune dynamics, deltaic systems) and urban landscape transformation.
• Strong publication record in geomorphology, remote sensing, or GIS journals.
• Fieldwork competency (topographic surveys, sediment sampling) and data integration skills.

• Knowledge of machine learning applications in geomorphology (e.g., land cover classification, change prediction).
• Experience with SAR data (InSAR for subsidence monitoring) or hyperspectral imagery.
• Familiarity with coastal vulnerability indices (CVI) and urban growth modeling.

• Competitive salary + grants for international conferences.
• Access to high-resolution satellite data, UAV/drone equipment, and advanced computing resources.
• Collaboration with leading research networks in geosciences.
