Post-doctoral Researcher in Geomatics and Hydromorphology CNRS in France

PhD opportunity at Université de Toulouse within the doctoral school SDU2E - Sciences de l'Univers, de l'Environnement et de l'Espace and the research unit CESBIO - Centre d'Etudes Spatiales de la BIOsphère . The thesis topic is characterizing the drivers of spatial soil moisture heterogeneity and developing a representativeness index for European instrumented sites using a multi-sensor approach . The project is linked to climate change, soil moisture monitoring, calibration/validation of satell...

This postdoctoral project studies the recent upward shift of the upper forest limit in the Alps and the Pyrenees. The work examines how long-term vegetation history, past land-use change, and the ecological characteristics of colonised sites shape current forest-edge dynamics. The research is organised around two linked scientific goals. First, the project will connect forest-limit trajectories since 1850 with more recent changes detected by remote sensing, with particular attention to the legac...

This postdoc project at the University of Copenhagen focuses on how sea-level rise and coastal squeeze are reshaping tidal flats in the Danish Wadden Sea. The researcher will study tidal flat evolution, sediment characteristics, and the factors controlling sediment dynamics in coastal wetlands as part of the multidisciplinary WadProof project. The project examines recent and historical changes in tidal flat development and texture, the effects of dikes, and the drivers of sediment characteristic...

The Alpine Ecology Laboratory (LECA), a joint research unit of the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS), Grenoble Alpes University, and Savoie Mont Blanc University, is seeking a postdoctoral researcher for a project on the recent upslope shift of the treeline in the Alps and the Pyrenees. The project will examine how vegetation history, historical forests, land-use changes, and present-day site conditions have shaped recent changes in the upper forest limit. One research object...
