Palaeolimnological assessment of recent ecosystem disturbance / regime shifts in sediment cores from ecotonal brackish lake systems

 

This project will examine the recent palaeolimnology of two brackish lake systems to elucidate ecosystem disturbance via regime shifts which are of particular relevance given the future (predicted) warmer climate.  Specifically the project will quantify the salinity and nutrient response in the fossil diatom, cladoceran and foraminifera records. These results will be supplemented by quantification of the organic isotope ratio (C:N) in the sediment record in an effort to establish changes in allochthonous and authochonous sediment inputs. 

 

Applications are invited for the above Doctoral Scholarship. For full project details please contact Dr. Catherine Dalton (catherine.dalton at mic.ul.ie). 

 

Candidates must have or expect to gain a First or strong Upper Second class degree, in Geography, Environmental Sciences, Biology, Geology or a related subject. A recognised MSc degree in environmental or climatic change would be an advantage, as would a full clean driving licence.

 

Applicants for the PhD scholarships should send a copy of their curriculum vitae, including names of at least 2 referees, to:
