Mountain snow and its importance for catchment storage and runoff: coupling of field and modelling approaches
The objectives of the proposed PhD project are 1) to quantify catchment storage in selected mountain catchments in the rain-snow transition zone using field and modelling approaches and to relate it to climate variability and catchment attributes, and 2) to investigate how changes in both temporal and spatial distribution of water sources affects catchment storage and runoff. Since the streamflow generation may be vulnerable to loss of snow, the project will help to understand how rain and snowmelt is partitioned between soil storage, groundwater recharge, evapotranspiration, and runoff which is important for future water availability.
The candidate will be a member of an international project “Mountain snowmelt and its importance for catchment storage and runoff (MountSnow)” which is a joint project of the Charles University, Department of Physical Geography and Geoecology, Prague (Michal Jenicek) and University of Zurich, Department of Geography (Jan Seibert). The candidate will be primarily based in Prague. Nevertheless, close collaboration with the Hydrology and Climate group at University of Zurich will be essential.

Deadline for application is 13rd March 2023. The start of the PhD is 1st October 2023.
