PhD position on radar detection of logging in tropical forests Wageningen University & Research in Netherlands

Wageningen University & Research in the Netherlands is advertising 2 fully funded PhD positions in the NWO-funded Timtrace project, focused on tropical forest logging and timber traceability . The first PhD is on radar detection of logging in tropical forests . The second PhD is on forensic tracing of tropical timber . Together, the projects aim to develop independent tools to verify the origin of tropical timber and help curb illegal trade. Funding is described as fully funded , with tailored P...

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...

Wageningen University & Research is advertising a fully funded PhD position on forensic tracing of tropical timber in the Netherlands. The project addresses the illegal timber trade and develops scientific tools to verify timber origin using wood chemistry , mass spectrometry , geostatistical modelling , and forest-related data analysis . The work is embedded in the Forest Ecology and Forest Management group and the Laboratory of Geo-Information Science and Remote Sensing , within the Timtrace t...

Leiden University’s Faculty of Archaeology is recruiting a Postdoctoral Researcher for a project on agent-based modelling of Pleistocene landscape connectivity in Europe. The work sits in the Department of World Archaeology and is part of the NWO-VICI project Neandertal Legacy , led by Prof. dr. M.A. Soressi, with collaboration from Dr. E. Coco (University of Algarve, ICArEHB). The project focuses on prehistoric human movement across Europe and adjacent regions during the Middle and Late Pleisto...
