Announcement of Opportunity: Impact of Large Woody Debris used for Flood Mitigation on In-Stream Nutrient Cycling - PhD Studentship

Numerous flooding events in the UK over recent decades have highlighted the need for a range of flood mitigation measures.This PhD project will look at the impact of LWD on in-stream nutrient cycling processes. The results will inform future catchment management options by providing a detailed understanding of the impact of LWD on nutrient cycling. Furthermore, taken together with information from the existing project on flood mitigation, the results will provide the first integrated summary of the impact of LWD on rivers and streams prone to flooding. This is an important step change in knowledge that will allow policy makers and catchment managers to deploy LWD in future with a much better understanding of the likely consequences.

The closing date is 9^th December.
