TheNetherlands,UtrechtUniversity

At the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development at Utrecht University, we are looking for anenthusiastic and ambitious colleague to further strengthen our group with a specific focus on nature-based solutionsonclimateadaptationandwater.

Unsustainable land management and climate change have degraded ecosystems and natural carbonand water storage processes, leading to soil degradation and land subsidence as well as increasedfloodinganddroughts.MeetingtheParisClimateAgreement bylimitingglobalwarmingtobelow1.5

- 2 degrees Celsius at the end of the 21 century requires negative greenhouse gas emissions. Much isexpected of land-based negative emissions to sequester carbon by afforestation, reforestation, orsoilandwetlandrestoration.

With nature based solutions, we expect to increase adaptive capacity to water-related effects ofclimate change while at the same time increasing carbon sequestration in the landscape andminimizing loss of biodiversity. We search for candidates with knowledge on soil and water processesinecosystemfunctioning, preferablywithempirical andmodellingskills.

The deadline for application is 15/08/2022http://www.earthworks-jobs.com/climate/utrecht22074.html
