Fully funded river ecology PhD – Ecological responses to hydrological dynamism in temporary river ecosystems

Posted by:

Contact: Rachel Stubbington (

Project Description

 

Temporary rivers, including England’s iconic chalk streams, experience natural transitions between lotic, lentic, and terrestrial conditions, which contributes substantially to their high biodiversity. However, the dynamic nature of temporary streams also poses a unique and pressing challenge for the effective assessment and enhancement of the ecological quality. This project represents an exciting ...

Open call for a funded PhD at BTU – Cottbus Senftenberg (Germany) in temporary river Carbon biogeochemistry

Posted by:

PhD position on  Regulation of the organic matter processing / C-turnover in the
land-water interfaces available at Research Station Bad Saarow (near Berlin), Germany

 
BTU will establish a graduate research cluster “Signatures of Disturbed  Landscapes” in October 2017. The cluster comprises 5 projects focussing on coupled abiotic and biotic aspects of aquatic and terrestrial subsystems and their interactions in disturbed landscapes. Processes of carbon turnover are used as an example to investigate the effects of disturbance on element fluxes inside ...
