PhD in Ecosystem Drought Responses and Environmental Science at UNSW Sydney University of New South Wales in Australia

A PhD opportunity is available at the University of New South Wales (UNSW) Sydney, focusing on improving our understanding of ecosystem drought responses using multiple lines of evidence. In the context of a rapidly warming world, this research aims to address the increasing drought stress faced by global ecosystems, which has significant implications for carbon balance, species survival, and environmental values.

The project will involve analyzing the varying responses of ecosystems to drought by integrating carbon and water flux measurements, remotely sensed data, and outputs from dynamic vegetation models. The knowledge generated will contribute to environmental management and planning, potentially improving the outlook for ecosystems threatened by climate change. Key academic keywords include ecosystem drought responses, environmental science, carbon balance, climate change, vegetation modeling, remote sensing, water flux, and species survival.

Applicants should have a strong interest in environmental science and ecosystem analysis, with relevant academic backgrounds in environmental science, biology, or related fields. Experience with carbon/water flux measurements, remote sensing, or vegetation modeling is desirable. The post does not specify funding details or application deadlines.
