From CSDMS
Fully funded PhD position in Groundwater Modeling
TU Dresden, , Germany
Apply before: 16 December 2021


Research on groundwater quality and the transport and storage of contaminants is crucial to secure the present and future drinking water supply. Distributed groundwater modeling and the analysis of (stable) isotopes are crucial for assessing water quality and quantifying contaminant transport. With this PhD position, we offer the possibility to unite the strengths of distributed modeling and isotope analysis. While isotopes observations have often been used to evaluate groundwater models, this research project will investigate the informative value of isotopes (stable water isotopes, tritium, and more) and transport proxies (e.g. water ages and transit times) for estimating spatial parameter fields of distributed groundwater models. The new understanding generated by this research will reveal which isotopic information and which proxies are most valuable for different hydrogeological settings and therefore improve the reliability of model-based predictions of groundwater availability and contamination risk.
