3 yr PhD in Berlin on Ecohydrological sources of urban moisture re-cycling and atmospheric cooling

  One week left to apply: We offer a 3 year PhD project on “E cohydrological sources of urban moisture re-cycling and atmospheric cooling”.   This project is part of the DFG Research Training Group "Urban Water Interfaces (UWI)". There is still a lack of knowledge of spatial variability in evaporation and transpiration from urban areas and crucially, where this water is sourced from, particularly in urban green space. This doctoral thesis will use isotope-based approaches to enhance our understanding of ecohydrological fluxes at multiple spatial scales. By monitoring temporal changes in the isotopic composition in urban rainfall, atmospheric vapour, subsurface water and plant xylem, a quantification of urban water partitioning can be achieved. The doctoral researcher will utilise field-deployable analysers for direct   in-situ   monitoring of the isotope composition of soil water, plant xylem and evaporated moisture. This will help understand what types of land ...
