Description: The HydroEcology of Anthropogenic Landscapes group at the Kansas Geological Survey (HEAL@KGS) is searching for an M.S. student interested in applying cutting-edge hydrologic, agronomic, and data science techniques to address real-world challenges.
The Plant and Soil Science Department at the University of Kentucky (UK) is recruiting a highly motivated Ph.D.
University of Arizona is looking for a PhD student to work on the project entitled “Rock-plant interactions driving early soil development and landscape evolution”. The work will examine the effect of vascular plants and plant-microbe interactions on weathering reactions in the basalt rock as a result of water flow and plant development, as well as feedbacks to plant emergence and growth. It will be conducted at the Landscape Evolution Observatory at Biosphere 2.
The Rock-Eval® (RE) thermal analysis was developed at IFPEN during the 1970’s as a standard benchmark tool in oil exploration, and became more and more frequently used during the last 20 years in soil science in order to characterize soil organic matter and its thermal stability. While soil organic carbon (C) is a well-established research topic in agriculture and climate concerns, inorganic C remains disregarded.
Kathleen Lohse’s Soil and Watershed Biogeochemistry laboratory at Idaho State University is looking for a highly motivated Ph.D. student to start in the fall of 2021 or Jan 2022. Research in the lab focuses on soil and watershed biogeochemistry with research interests in hydrology and biogeochemical interactions (https://lohselab.com).
