The University will offer a UTS President’s Scholarship (UTSP) to selected successful IPRS applicants. This scholarship assists with general living costs for the duration of their IPRS.

The conditions of a UTSP are based on those applicable to IPRS and the value of the UTSP stipend will be equal to the value of an Australian Postgraduate Award (APA), as offered to Australian students by DIISR ($20,427 per annum in 2009). The UTSP Scholarship is not transferable to another institution.

Eligibility

Students who apply for the IPRS scholarhsip are automatically considered for the UTS President’s Scholarship. For more information on the IPRS, Read more »

The Research Laboratory in Environmetrics and Geomatics of the Department of Environmental Sciences and Land Use Planning, Universitécatholique de Louvain, is opening a PhD position in ecological monitoring by satellite remote sensing and forest change modelling (48 months)

The research will involve both processing 10-year SPOT-Vegetation time series (satellite data) to derive and analyse the vegetation phenology trends at global scale, and developing a forest cover change model for Central Africa. The phenology results and the GIS model outputs will be used in the vegetation model ORCHIDEE to improve our understanding of the terrestrial carbon cycle and forecast its evolution under different land-use and climate change scenarios.
