This project aims to investigate the potential of seismic reflection data to image oceanic fine structure, such as thermohaline layering, internal waves, and water mass boundaries. Using seismic oceanography techniques, the student will analyze multichannel seismic datasets to identify acoustic reflections generated by small-scale variations in temperature and salinity in the water column. The project will focus on processing and interpretation workflows (e.g., filtering, stacking etc.) to enhance weak water-column signals and relate them to underlying physical oceanographic processes.

IISER Pune invites applications from research oriented students to participate in its Summer Student Programmes. Successful applicants will have an opportunity to participate in the research programmes of IISER-Pune faculty. Research activities in IISER-Pune span both theory and experiment in Biology, Chemistry, Data Science, Earth and Climate Science, Mathematics, Humanities, Physics and Earth Sciences with a strong focus on interdisciplinary research. These summer projects are also an opportunity for students to evaluate the suitability of various programmes at IISER-Pune (Integrated PhD and PhD) for future career choice.
This application form is meant for non-IISER Pune students.
This web registration process is not meant for
Summer fellows selected for IISER-Pune
through other fellowship programmes like IASc and JNCASR.
