Postdoctoral researcher Remote sensing for understanding ecosystem functioning of tidal areas
Offer DescriptionMudflats, with (micro)algae, salt marsh plants and seagrasses can be found along many sheltered coasts regulated by the tides. These intertidal areas are, for example, important as feeding grounds for (wader) birds, and for reducing flooding probabilities of the hinterland. The European HE-funded project REWRITE (REWilding and Restoration of InterTidal sediment Ecosystems for carbon sequestration, climate adaptation and biodiversity support) aims to provide an understanding of the functioning of these intertidal ecosystems and the ecosystem services that they have to offer and to investigate ways to restore and expand them. The project is coordinated by the University of Nantes and combines the expertise of a team of researchers from the natural and social sciences, and stakeholders. The University of Twente will focus on satellite remote sensing of ecosystem functioning.Within the project, you will combine satellite remote sensing of the REWRITE demonstrator sites and sites globally, with (radiative transfer) modelling and biological and physical information from fieldwork. The goal is to yield consistent, quantitative long-term time series of spatial information of intertidal ecosystems, related to their role in e.g., primary production, biodiversity, sediment dynamics and climate adaptation, in the context of rewilding. You will work in close collaboration with partners in the project. You will jointly publish your findings in scientific journals and present them during conferences and meetings.Where to apply WebsiteRequirementsSpecific Requirements
