Please find information on an opening for a 3-year postdoctoral fellow at Stockholm University on the hydroclimatic ecosystem services of wetlandscapes.
https://www.su.se/english/about-the-university/work-at-su/available-jobs?rmpage=job&rmjob=24750&rmlang=UK
Closing date: 10 January 2025.
The candidate will work on the project Disclosing the Overlooked Wetlandscape Ecosystem Services (DOWES), funded by the Water4All 2023 Joint Transnational Call on Aquatic Ecosystem Services. The main objective of DOWES is to resolve the interlinkages between water availability in wetlandscapes, their responses and stressors, and the provision of ecosystem services within and beyond their area of influence through synthesis across important wetlandscapes in Sweden, Italy, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and Colombia. While wetlands are ecosystems with permanent or temporary, static or flowing waters, wetlandscapes are systems of wetlands that are hydraulically, hydrologically, and ecologically connected. A wetlandscape can comprise large regions with different wetland bodies connected by groundwater or surface flows and, in turn, include more ecosystems, land covers, and communities in the landscape.
DOWES will, in five work packages, address the main objective across six iconic wetlandscape ecosystems. The first determines high-resolution changes in the hydrological regime using the latest radar and altimetric missions. The second relates water availability to wetlandscape ecosystem responses and stressors. The third develops a participatory approach to identify perceptions of potential cultural ecosystem services. The fourth adds a layer of complexity by quantifying the provision of ecosystem services of wetlandscapes beyond the area of influence. Finally, the fifth work package combines these four to develop metrics and guidelines to track and quantify the provision of wetlandscape ecosystem services.
The postdoc employed by this call will focus on either of the work packages 1 and 4 of DOWES, that is,
WP1: Quantifying changes in water availability with space-base technologies such as altimetry, InSAR, Gravimetry and SWOT, and
WP4: Quantifying hydrological and hydroclimatic ecosystem services of wetlandscapes with hydrological, hydroclimatic modeling and moisture tracking. These ecosystem services include water regulation, water supply by moisture to downwind regions, embedded water in products and services, and local and regional climate regulation.
