Main Focus
PhD project:
Links between hydrology and carbon cycle processes within permafrost ecosystems in Northeast Siberia
Research Location:
Drainage ring at the Ambolikha site, nearby Chersky, Siberia, Russia
Research Focus:
- Comparison of a drained (dry) and control (wet) site regarding hydrological and carbon patterns
- Hydrological patterns via a network of piemometers, assessment of lateral flow conditions
- Water sampling for analysis of: carbon concentrations (DOC, DIC), carbon isotopes (δ13C-DIC, δ14C-DOC, δ13C-DOC) and water isotopes (δ18O, δD)
- Filtering of water samples and collection of filters for POC analysis
- Dissolved gas analysis (CO2, CH4)
- Assessing water quality parameters (e.g. pH, EC, T)
- Discharge calculation at a weir location
