Applications are currently invited from international students as Southern Cross University is offering a PhD scholarship to study the geochemical behaviour of antimony in environmental systems.
Antimony is a critical mineral resource which plays a rapidly growing role in our daily lives, yet it is also an environmental pollutant of increasing global concern. This project aims to advance our understanding on antimony’s environmental geochemistry by carefully unravelling interactions with the iron cycle in soils and related geo-environmental systems.
