MSc thesis: It's getting hot in here! - Does the sensitivity of permafrost to changing weather conditions differ across the Arctic?
Across the Arctic, researchers monitor the thawing depth of permafrost as a critical environmental variable. You will work with a database with end-of-season thaw depths, also known as "Active Layer Thicknesses". This is the top l ...

Influence of ageing on the vector effect of micro-plastics.
Evaluate the effect of ageing on chemical transfer from micro-plastics in organisms' gut to investigate how much chemicals are bioavailable from environmentally realistic micro-plastics compared to the virgin micro-plastics which ...

Fate and effects of micro- and nano-plastics
Micro- and nano-plastics form a threat to water quality. Several aspects could be studied. If you have own ideas feel free to discuss with supervisor. ...

Phosphorus sorption capacity of sediment in lakes treated with lanthanum modified bentonite.
Lake de Kuil (NL) was successfully treated in 2008 and 2017 with a lanthanum modified bentonite to manage eutrophication and cyanobacterial blooms. Little is known about the phosphorus sorption capacity of the sediment after the t ...

Effects of contour bunds and organic amendments on plant survival and erosion in recently burned areas
Wildfires create a range of problems connected to the complete loss of aboveground biomass and vegetation cover.The resulting uncovered soil is extremely susceptible to erosion and microclimatic conditions that could help with the ...

Investigating Carbon fluxes with time since wildfire
Wildfires affect forest carbon pools directly, through combustion/heating processes, and indirectly, by changing abiotic (e.g. soil temperature) and biotic (e.g. leaf area index) conditions. The indirect impacts appear to be impor ...

Post-fire wind erosion in the coastal zone of north-central Portugal
As widely known, 2017 was a particularly dramatic year in Portugal in terms of fatalities by wildfires. Also the total area burnt was exceptional in 2017, well-exceeding those of the record years of 2003 and 2005. This included a ...

Linear ecological focus areas to limit stream contamination from intensive croplands
Description: Problem context Intensive agricultural areas often contaminate nearby steams with nutrients coming from fertilizer use. However, these areas often have Ecological Focus Areas (EFA) with vegetation, such as field mar ...

Sludge microplastics decay through earthworms
Project description. Microplastics on terrestrial environments have become a big concern in the last years due to the effects that they produce to the soil invertebrates. Previous studies have shown that plastic residues are pre ...

Microplastics along the terrestrial food web. The case of cities and natural reserves in the Netherlands.
Project Description Nevertheless microplastics characteristics and distribution are well-known in the aquatic systems. In the terrestrial environments it is not the case. Previous studies have shown that the microplastics can b ...
