PhD on Bio-geomorphodynamic and plastic litter modelling in intertidal areas

KU Leuven

Leuven

The Sediment Mechanics Research Unit of the Hydraulics & Geotechnics Section of the Dept. of Civil Engineering is specialized in developing new physics-based process models to improve the prediction of numerical models for hydrodynamic and bio-geomorphodynamic applications in water resources engineering, including the interaction with living organisms (vegetation, benthic species, plankton, etc.). These models are used a.o. for studies on climate resilience of coastal areas, the design of nature-based solutions and the dispersal of particulate matter (sediments and plastic litter).

The current PhD project will contribute to two research projects:
• The WADER (Wetland Avian bioDiversity & climatE Resilience) project applies state-of-the art knowledge of bio-geomorphodynamics to improve our ability to predict avian biodiversity and climate resilience in coastal wetlands, using birds as indicators for evaluating the ecological status of a wetland. The project falls under the... More Detail
