Discover our Environmental Research and Innovation department: ERIN Department

Embedded into the ENVISION unit, the ‘Catchment and eco-hydrology’ (CAT) research group has its efforts geared towards a holistic understanding of intrinsically coupled hydrological and human systems. At the CAT group we rely on our competences in hydrology, geochemistry, sedimentology and environmental systems engineering for gaining a better understanding of eco-hydrological processes controlling hydrological and biogeochemical cycles, vegetation and sediment dynamics, pollutant removal, and ecosystem resilience.

**How will you contribute?**:
The quality of weather forecasts, seasonal simulations, and climate projections depends critically on the adequate representation of land-atmosphere (L-A) feedbacks. These feedbacks are the result of a highly complex network of processes and variables related to the exchange of momentum, energy, and mass. Significant challenges persist in understanding processes and feedbacks.

The Land-Atmosphere Feedback Initiative (LAFI) is an interdisciplinary consortium of researchers in Germany and Luxembourg, from atmospheric, agricultural, and soil sciences, bio-geo-physics, hydrology, and neuroinformatics, proposing a novel combination of advanced research methods. The overarching goal of LAFI is to understand and quantify L-A feedbacks via unique synergistic observations and model simulations from the micro-gamma (» 2 m) to the meso-gamma (» 2 km) scales across diurnal to seasonal time scales.

The overall theme of the advertised position will be: "Effect of land-atmosphere coupling on vegetation behaviour". The project will combine experimental work, sensor development and field monitoring to:

- Characterise the relevant atmospheric conditions of individual leaves in a wheat and maize canopy
- Identify feedbacks between leaf gas exchange and within-canopy microclimate
- Formulate a mathematical model of leaf gas and energy exchange in the presence of canopy-air feedbacks
