The PhD. project is about the interactive feedbacks between seagrass, eutrophication, and (green) turtle grazing. The project focuses on specific mechanisms that drive these processes, including the influence of shading, water-soil chemistry and the associated algal shifts. Next summer we've planned a second period of fieldwork. We are now looking for students who want to take part in this project for their master's degree. Students will have opportunity to creatively pursue their own hypothesis-driven research projects within the project. The candidates seeking the position should have a good (marine) ecology background. Details about the project, location and experiences (incl. pictures) of last fieldtrip: http://penyu.nl.
