Description Research question:
There is a link between the carbon balance, hydrologyand greenhouse gas emissions. In a complex system like mangroves, interdisciplinary research and analysis is required to quantify these relationships. We are looking for a student who is willing to contribute to quantitative research on this topic in a multidisciplinary setting from a hydrological point of view. The topic will be subject to discussion based on the interests of the researchers and the student.
