--- PLEASE POST WIDELY ---
The Forest Ecology Group at ETH Zurich (Switzerland) offers a PhD
position that will focus on estimating future forest structure and
productivity in the light of global change with an emphasis on
increasing drought risks.
The project will build upon the widely used LPJ-GUESS model, and the
student will test the model against long-term data from various
sources (e.g. forest reserve data, tree ring data), focusing on the
model's ability to represent stand structural attributes along strong
climatic gradients in Switzerland. For model improvement, the focus
will be on the growth-mortality relationship of trees.
