PhD Project

Impacts of multiple disturbances on biogeochemistry in Yangze river continuum during the past century

Aim to provide an integrated soil-groundwater-riparian zone – river model that accounts for terrestrial and aquatic processes, and concentrate on the nutrient flows. The integrated model will be used to investigate the impact of changes (such as human-induced changes in nutrient delivery, hydrological interventions) on nutrient biogeochemistry and the nutrient export to coastal marine environment.
