‘CLIMET’ is a multidisciplinary project targeting the interactions of climate change and the CH4 cycling in the Kangerlussuaq region. We focus on dissolved organic matter accumulating in lakes and whose quality/quantity is shifting with Arctic greening. The second is wind-blown inorganic sediment which originates from the Greenland Ice Sheet outwash.
Both are consequential for the microbial community interactions that drive CH4cycling but are poorly understood. In the PhD project we will investigate terrestrial vegetation dynamics and lake properties including the aeolian deposits in lake sediments over the last ~1000 years, where the Little Ice Age and the Medieval Climate Anomaly are known to have affected climate. For this, you will study the mineralogy and quantify lanthanides in sediments to assess chemical weathering and apply high resolution, automated palynology for vegetation dynamics. Downcore sedDNA analysis will in parallel unravel the important responses of the microbial community structure to climate driven DOM and sediments.
To support academic and personal development, PhD candidates follow courses and assist in teaching Earth Sciences at Bachelor's and Master's level. Together these activities amount to twenty percent of the contracted time.
We look forward to your application if you have the following qualifications:
We work on a better future. In order to do that, we join forces with academics, students, alumni, social partners, the government and the corporate world. Together, we look for sustainable solutions to the big challenges of today and tomorrow.
