For each four studied watershed, the hired researcher will run the simulations of thermal and hydrological responses to climate change according to the various CMIP 5 scenarios using the HPC permafrost simulator developed in the HiPerBorea project (already operational flavor: permaFoam, Orgogozo et al., 2019 ; to be extended and developed during the HiPerBorea project by the other partners of the project). He/she will do the conditioning of the modelings (e.g.: building meshes representing Digital Elevation Models, boundary conditions that take into account meteorological forcings and land cover) on the basis of the field data and the satellite data existing for each watershed, using the advanced pre-processing tools of the OpenFOAM® environment (e.g.: snappyHexMesh, swak4foam). Once he/she will have performed the simulations on regional to European supercomputers, he/she will interpret the obtained results to quantitatively assess the potential impacts of climate change on boreal permafrost through watershed-wise analyses and comparative analyses between the considered watersheds. He/she will present the acquired knowledge in international scientific conferences and publish them in peer-reviewed, open access journals with high impact factors.
