Master Scholarships in Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (MEEES), Erasmus Mundus
The MEEES programme is an Erasmus Mundus Masters Course, that aims to provide higher-level education in the field of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology. Graduate students involved in this Erasmus Mundus Masters course have the possibility of following a 18-month MSc programmes on either Earthquake Engineering or Engineering Seismology. In addition, the proposed EM Masters course envisages also the possibility of students following a 18-month study programme that leads to the attainment of a Masters degree on Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology.
If following the Engineering Seismology option, students will acquire the ability to design, execute and evaluate assessments of seismic hazard for site-specific engineering projects, for earthquake loss assessments, and for emergency planning scenarios. Students following the Earthquake Engineering option will acquire the ability to undertake seismic design of new structures and the assessment and strengthening of existing structures. The combined option of Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology will enable students to acquire technical competence in both areas.
The MEEES consortium comprises five academic institutions, namely (i) the Institute for Advanced Study of Pavia (IUSS), (ii) the University of Pavia (UNIPV), (iii) the University of Patras, (iv) the University of Grenoble Joseph Fourier and (v) Middle East Technical University. It is noted, however, that the first two institutions, which are independent but are also both based in Pavia, jointly organise and run the postgraduate earthquake engineering programme in Pavia, through the Centre for Post-Graduate Training and Research in Earthquake Engineering and Engineering Seismology (ROSE School). Hence in subsequent sections of this website, the term ROSE School is employed to refer to the activites of IUSS/UNIPV institutions within the scope of the MEEES consortium.
Master & PhD Oceanography Scholarships, Texas A&M University, USA
Students interested in doing graduate work in Oceanography at Texas A&M University are invited to apply for scholarships of up to $10,000 per year. This scholarship program is funded through the NSF Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (S-STEM) program to encourage academically talented students with demonstrated financial need to enter graduate programs in oceanography at Texas A&M.
Join our research teams in the Department of Oceanography at Texas A&M University and become Scholars of Oceanography. Students from under-represented groups are especially encouraged to apply. These scholarships will support up to 8 MS and 4 PhD students to begin in the fall of 2011. Eleven more students will be recruited in the following year.
Why Oceanography?
The oceans are connected to or drive major Earth processes, such as atmospheric and oceanic circulation, climate and weather, plate tectonics, and sustainability of marine life and resources (e.g. fisheries, oil, gas, gas hydrates). Oceans impact our present and future life and economy, even if we live far from the sea. We are entering a new era of methods for observing the ocean, but we can never measure everything everywhere continuously. Therefore, modeling of existing data and processes is necessary to obtain a broader view of present and future conditions and consequences of societal policies. We need more scientists who understand the interconnectedness of all fields of oceanography.
At Texas A&M there are opportunities to study a range of oceanographic processes from molecular scales to full ocean scales from the Pacific to Atlantic to Indian, Arctic to Antarctic, as well as the Gulf of Mexico, Galapagos Islands through a cooperative program with the Ecuadorian Navy, etc.
How to Apply
The S-STEM Oceanography program for the 2011-2012 academic year is now accepting applications. Recruitment of students will be based on residency, financial need, academic qualifications, personal statement of research interests and letters of recommendation.
