What is the effect of climate change on water quality in boreal and temperate catchments? Studying water transit times in long time-series and their coupling to biogeochemical processes

Summary

In this project, we will have the unique opportunity to integrate state-of-the-art estimates of catchment transit time with a wealth of existing and ongoing stream monitoring data to determine how hydrological transit time variation shape stream biogeochemical patterns within drainage networks. The combination of hydrological modeling, stream chemistry monitoring, and isotopic analysis will provide a powerful opportunity to advance our understanding of how catchments function as biogeochemical units.
