PhD fellowship in biogeochemistry of cultivated wetlands

The Division of Geosciences and Pure Useful resource Administration invitations candidates for a PhD fellowship to check the biogeochemistry and greenhouse gasoline steadiness of cultivated wetlands. The PhD undertaking is a part of the World Wetland Heart, funded by the Novo Nordisk Basis. Begin date for this 3-year PhD fellowship is 1 January 2024 or as quickly as potential thereafter. 

The World Wetland Heart will contribute to the event of wetland-based local weather change mitigation methods by way of a mix of biogeochemical and hydrological modelling, satellite tv for pc distant sensing and use of Synthetic Intelligence strategies. The Heart is a collaboration between two departments from the College of Copenhagen (Division of Geosciences and Pure Useful resource Administration and Division of Pc Sciences), DHI A/S, and GEUS (The Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland), and is funded for a six-year interval (2024-2029). 

To start out the Heart’s actions, we’re on the lookout for a PhD scholar to work on area measurements of greenhouse gasoline emissions from cultivated wetlands. The candidate will work in an inspiring crew bringing collectively modelling, in situ measurements and Earth commentary of wetland biogeochemistry and hydrology. 

Particularly, the PhD undertaking goals to quantify the aspect biking of carbon and nitrogen in farmed wetlands in Vietnam. The work consists of area experiments (with dynamic flux chambers and subsurface oxygen measurements) alongside spatial gradients and laboratory work aiming at optimizing C storage, lowering CH4 and N2O emissions and securing future meals manufacturing. As well as, analyses based mostly on different (farmed or pure) wetlands are envisaged.
