Project Title: From Waste to Wealth: Dredged Sediments Powering Coastal Renewal


Supervisor(s) Prof. Nicoletta Leonardi (University of Liverpool) ; Dr Riccardo Briganti, Nottingham University. Dr. Demetra Cristaudo (JBA)

Deadline for applications: 28 February, 2025.

This project is part of the N0MES CDT (Centre for Doctoral Training),

PROJECT DESCRIPTION

N0MES CDT Theme C: Environmental Impact

Dredging is essential for maintaining navigable waterways, and dredged sediments offer a valuable resource for coastal restoration. The strategic use of these sediments in coastal protection and reshaping efforts can play a crucial role in advancing net-zero targets, particularly by reducing the need for transporting materials over long distances. However, dredged sediments are often disposed of offshore, which can lead to long-term sediment depletion along the coastline. Once deposited offshore, these sediments are challenging to resuspend and transport back inshore. This issue has prompted efforts to recycle dredged material. While this method can enhance habitat resilience, some studies suggest it is not optimal for dredging efficiency or coastal restoration efforts. This project will examine three case studies across the UK co-decided with the external partner to assess where dredged sediments could support coastal restoration efforts. Initially, we will identify existing coastal risks at each site. This will include the development of monitoring and digital twin components allowing for incorporating real-time data into modelling techniques. Subsequently, we will employ computer modelling, remote sensing, and machine learning techniques to predict future coastal risks under changing climate conditions. Finally, these tools will be used to test various sediment recycling methods, aiming to enhance both sediment budgets and the resilience of the overall coastal system. The project will also include a final life-cycle carbon budget analysis to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of these innovative approaches compared to traditional coastal protection strategies.

Tenure-Track groupleader / scientist position (f/m/x) in fluvial morphology and biogeochemical modelling of stream ecosystems



The Department of Ecohydrology and Biogeochemistry of the Leibniz-Institute of Freshwater Ecology and Inland Fisheries (IGB),Berlin, Germany, invites applications for a tenure track group leader position in fluvial morphology and biogeochemical modelling of stream ecosystems. The new group leader is expected to start a research program on linking physical, chemical and ecological process-based models of streams. Inland flowing waters i.e. streams and rivers are crucial for connecting elements of landscapes and form major components of the global nutrient and carbon cycles. This position aims to understand the functioning of streams, focusing on hydrological, morphological, biogeochemical and ecological components of streams, and their linkages across scales. The position will focus on investigating the impacts of global change on stream ecosystems through advanced, data-driven process-based modelling approaches. The successful candidate will join an existing interdisciplinary science and modelling team to support the strategic development in modelling stream/river ecosystems. Outstanding instrumented research catchments are close to Berlin, access to lab- and field-based data production and to computer clusters is available. Further, the Department builds on a long history of internationally recognized excellence in ecohydrology and biogeochemistry. We are seeking to enhance and complement these existing strengths.


Your role
· Increasing the understanding the functioning of streams through process-based modelling, focusing on hydrological, geomorphological, biogeochemical or ecological components, and their linkages

· Investigating the impacts of global change on stream ecosystems through advanced stochastic or numerical modelling approaches

· Development and application of hydrology-based numerical models to predict cross-scale spatio-temporal patterns of fluvial morphology, biogeochemistry or related freshwater biodiversity and interactions with the surrounding landscape

· Investigation of spatial hydrological and linked ecological processes (linking to metapopulations and meta-ecosystems) in stream networks based on virtual analogues that reproduce topological and scaling features of natural stream networks

· Simulations of the transport and turnover of environmental or reactive tracers, sediment, nutrients, pollutants and environmental DNA in rivers.

· Scenario simulations of the response of streams to both natural and human-caused disturbances e.g., floods, reservoir construction, channelization, or river restoration.

· Use of these models to assess the effectiveness of sampling strategies and science-based information of land, water and ecosystem management as well as policy making.

· Establish a new research group on linking physical, chemical and ecological process-based models of streams


Your profile
· PhD in hydrology, or a related field of environmental or geoscience

· Experience in combining field and modelling insights in process-based understanding of stream ecosystems

· Excellent numerical / computational skills

A strong publication record (commensurate with career stage)
An established national or international research profile (commensurate with career stage)
Strong English language skills both in oral and written communication
Good track record or potential for raising external research funds (commensurate with career stage)


Additional beneficial requirements would be:

Good potential for research supervision
Expertise in remote sensing and data assimilation Good potential for research supervision
· Excellent interpersonal skills and proven team-working skills.

· Experience in working in interdisciplinary research projects and collaboration with stakeholders.

Our offer
We offer an interesting position with a long-term perspective according to IGB’s tenure-track guidelines in a dynamic international scientific environment. The working language is English. We have flat hierarchies, encourage active participation, and provide high individual freedom, enabling scientists to develop their creativity to the best of their abilities. The position is full-time with an option for temporary or permanent work time reduction. Salary is paid according to the German salary scheme for the public sector (TVöD Bund E14).
