Two PhD positions – Characterising lake responses to climate extremes
The successful candidates with be part of a nationwide lake programme Our Lakes, Our Future (ourlakesourfuture.co.nz). The programme aims to develop a set of globally unique approaches to monitoring and managing lakes. The successful candidates will be integrated into this internationally recognised lake research team and have opportunities to work in different organisations across Aotearoa New Zealand.
Position 1. Characterising lake responses to climate extremes using high-frequency sensor data
We are seeking an enthusiastic and highly motivated student for a fully funded PhD project using high-frequency sensor data to understand lake ecosystem responses to climate extremes. Lakes are increasingly exposed to extreme climate events (e.g., intense storms, droughts), yet typical monitoring (manual to fortnightly) often prevents a robust understanding of the response and recovery of lake ecosystems following these events. We aim to analyse automated high-frequency sensor data from profiling buoys in lakes across Aotearoa New Zealand to characterise changes in lake ecosystem structure and function following some of the most extreme climate events observed in New Zealand (e.g., Cyclone Gabrielle).
