PhD Scholarship in Environmental Aquatic Chemistry

03 September 2014, Wednesday

A PhD Scholarship in Environmental Aquatic Chemistry is available at the National Institute of Aquatic Resources at the Technical University of Denmark (DTU Aqua) with starting date December 2014. The scholarship is financed by Nordic 5 Tech collaboration (DTU) and the Danish Council for Independent Research. The project will primarily be carried out at the Section for Marine Ecology and Oceanography at Aqua, which is situated in Charlottenlund, Denmark. The PhD will be part of a collaboration between two projects currently running at Aqua and Chalmers University (Dept. Civil and Environmental Engineering), Sweden.

Project description
Dissolved organic matter (DOM) is a complex mixture of organic compounds ultimately originating from the degradation of terrestrial and aquatic plant material. About 97% of organic carbon in the world’s oceans exists in the dissolved phase and this fraction plays an important role in the global carbon cycle. DOM is also important on smaller scales, as its physical and chemical properties greatly influence aquatic ecosystems. As well as influencing natural biogeochemistry, DOM is of critical importance to the water industry since in many countries, natural surface waters are treated then used as drinking water. These waters contain DOM which influences water quality both aesthetically (giving a brown colour to the water) and chemically (producing harmful organo-chlorine compounds during chlorine purification). Increasing temperatures in northern Europe as a result of climate change are causing an increase in the amount and changes in quality of DOM released from soils to surface waters. In addition, human induced changes in land use in river catchments can have a similar if not greater effect.
