Vacancy for a PhD position in Isotope Hydrology within the DFG funded Research Unit CAOS From Catchments as Organized Systems to Models based on Dynamic Functional Units. The position is part of Project H Residence times across scales: from plot to catchment scale. This project will be carried out in close cooperation with the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) in Potsdam.
In the framework of this project, an extensive monitoring network will be established in several headwater catchments in Luxemburg with the purpose of exploring the spatial organization of the flow pathways, water storage and hence the residence time.
Combining flux and residence concentration data of natural tracers in water, stable isotopes, and artificial tracers will allow to predict residence time and flow pathways in the different hydrological compartments as well as integrative for entire watersheds. We will investigate with different methods the fingerprint of hydrological processes found in the signal of isotopic composition and natural and artificial tracers of soil, ground and stream water in space and time.
