Two PhD positions in forest hydrology within the Excellence Cluster Future Forests at the University of Freiburg

[Sebastian Gnann]

Dear all,

The Excellence Cluster Future Forests at the University of Freiburg announces two openings for doctoral researchers in the field of forest hydrology.

1) Forest Legacy Effects on Hydrology (Prof. Kerstin Stahl, Dr. Sebastian Gnann)

This project aims to analyse long time series of climate, forest evolution and hydrology jointly to better understand legacy effects of historic changes on forest hydrology and then implement modelling procedures that allow modelling such joint non-linear changes. See more here:

2) Modeling the role of lateral subsurface flow (Prof. Markus Weiler) 

This project aims for the development of an improved high-resolution coupling of soil water balance, lateral subsurface flow (interflow) and groundwater dynamics within a modular soil-vegetation-atmosphere model in order to improve the understanding and simulation of drought stress on trees and future forests. See more here:
