An important question is to what extent GHG emissions from aquatic environments can counteract the net carbon dioxide uptake by the surrounding terrestrial environment. This particular PhD project will be a key component in the larger project by focusing specifically on the transport of carbon and GHGs to and from lakes and running water in the study area. The research will be performed in close collaboration with groups at five additional Swedish universities providing an extensive network. The work requires an interest for transport and transformation of compounds in nature and includes extensive periods of field work. Therefore a drivers licence and possibilities of longer stays at the field site near Uddevalla in South Western Sweden in necessary. Experiences of aquatic research, biogeochemical fluxes, analyses of carbon compounds and GHGs, automated analysis and sampling equipment and of scientific writing is beneficial in the evaluation. The successful candidate will pursue PhD-training, including a final doctoral thesis project. As employee the doctoral student will first and foremost focus on the research training tasks at hand.
