One of the PhD positions at the University of Zurich will focus on the spatial and temporal variation in shallow groundwater levels across the study catchments, how these variations depend on soil and landscape characteristics, and how these data can be used in the calibration of hydrological models.

The other PhD position at the University of Zurich will focus on the interception of SSF by roads and tile drains and how this is then quickly routed to the streams. These new measurements of SSF interception will be compared with the responses at the trenches and model simulations.

Your benefits
