Doctoral Researcher in 3D Forest Modelling and Remote Sensing University of Helsinki in Finland

University of Helsinki is inviting applications for a Doctoral Researcher position in 3D Forest Modelling and Remote Sensing within the VODBIO project (Vegetation Optical Depth as Biophysical Proxy: Retrieval, Validation, and Applications). The project develops a physically based framework for interpreting satellite microwave vegetation optical depth (VOD) as an indicator of vegetation water content, biomass, and forest structure. The doctoral researcher will generate realistic three-dimensional...

PhD and postdoctoral opportunities are available in tropical biodiversity conservation at the University of Neuchâtel, Switzerland , within a newly funded Swiss National Science Foundation (SNSF) project: Scale-OECM: Cross-scale Impact Quantification, Monitoring and Planning of Other Effective Area-based Conservation Measures (OECMs) . The project focuses on understanding how OECMs contribute to biodiversity conservation by combining biodiversity monitoring , impact evaluation , and conservation...

Join a PhD opportunity in gravity research at the National Land Survey of Finland / Finnish Geospatial Research Institute (FGI) . The project, GraFePor , is funded by the Research Council of Finland and focuses on developing a fully integrated, state-of-the-art Fennoscandian gravity change rate model . The research combines absolute gravity and satellite gravity time series with a GIA model (glacial isostatic adjustment). This is a strong fit for applicants interested in Earth Science , Physics ...
