Postdoctoral Researcher, Extreme Climate Events, Hydrology, and Carbon Cycling in Northern Environments

[Hannu Marttila]

Hi all, 

We have 3 years post-doc position open

to join our project investigating how extreme climatic events, such as heatwaves, droughts, winter warming episodes, and rain‑on‑snow events, shape hydrology and carbon cycling in high‑latitude northern ecosystems. These extreme events are increasing in frequency and extent across the Arctic and can trigger rapid ecological responses that surpass the impacts of gradual, long‑term warming.

Understanding these processes requires the integration of detailed site‑level observations with large‑scale data synthesis. Our project combines both approaches to reveal how short‑term climatic extremes alter water flow, soil conditions, vegetation dynamics, and ecosystem carbon fluxes across northern environments.
