Dear Ecolog members,
The 2015 round of postdoctoral fellowship at Deakin University and the
University of Technology Sydney (UTS) are now open. We are particularly
interested in recruiting applicants to the following areas of research:
- Dynamics of coastal ‘blue carbon’ sequestration
- Molecula
practical
efforts to offset
carbon emissions with blue carbon ecosystems, which includes wetlands. BCLs
members
include specialists in ecology, spatial analysis, microbiology, soil science,
chemistry, and
modelling. The groups leader Dr Peter Macreadie serves on the Victorian
Coastal
Corangamite
catchment.
Location and research environment: This industry-focused PhD project will be
based at Deakin Burwood
(http://www.deakin.edu.au/life-at-deakin/our-locations/melbourne-burwood-campus)
under the supervision of Dr Peter Macreadie (www.petermacreadie.com) and
co-supervised by Chris

Project description
Atmospheric accumulation of carbon dioxide (CO2) accounts for 80% of Earth's
greenhouse effect, which causes global warming. Leading nations recognise
the need to reduce atmospheric carbon (C) emissio
strategies to manage coastal areas to facilitate the
long-term survival of mangrove/saltmarsh. Overall this PhD project will
provide an important advance in our understanding of nature-based strategies
for responding to climate change.
