PhD Position at TUDelft - How Sediment and Vegetation Build Coastal Dune Landscapes.

[Sierd de Vries]

Dear Coastal Colleagues,

 

We hope you are all doing well.

 

We are looking for a PhD candidate to strengthen the multidisciplinary community for Building with Nature for Hydraulic Engineering at Delft University of Technology.

The candidate will study coastal processes that govern the medium to long term development (5-50 years) of the coastal dune landscape in view of combined climate drivers and anthropogenic influences. The study will include the governing characteristics of landscape development such as sediment mobility and the development of vegetation in combination with short term environmental conditions such as winds, waves, rainfall and droughts. How can the knowledge gap between these short term driving processes and longer term response of the coastal landscape morphology and vegetation be bridged in view of developing Building with Nature strategies?

See the job description for more information.

Kind regards,
