PhD in Forensic Tracing of Tropical Timber Wageningen University & Research in Netherlands

Postdoctoral Research Fellow opportunity in forest ecology , forestry , remote sensing , statistics , and environmental science focused on terrestrial laser scanning (TLS) and tropical forest carbon stocks. The position is part of the GEO-TREES initiative in partnership with ForestGEO , supporting a global, standardized reference system for measuring and monitoring forest biomass and improving satellite-based carbon estimates. The postdoc will work on collection, processing, management, and anal...

Wageningen University & Research is advertising a fully funded PhD on moss traits, bryophytes, fire ignitability, peatland, tundra, and vegetation-climate feedbacks . The project asks how moss functional traits influence fire ignition and fire dynamics in high-latitude ecosystems , including boreal peatlands and tundra, where warming, permafrost thaw, and increasing fire frequency are reshaping carbon storage and ecosystem functioning. The PhD is embedded in the Plant Ecology and Nature Conserva...

Wageningen University & Research is advertising a fully funded PhD position on radar remote sensing for detecting logging in tropical forests . The project addresses illegal timber trade by developing scientific tools to detect logging activity and logging intensity across pantropical forests and to help verify claimed timber origin. The PhD will work with novel satellite radar data, process and analyse remote-sensing datasets, develop and test methods for logging detection, and contribute to mu...
