The applicant will be based in the Department of Spatial Analysis and Decision Support at the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM). The department investigates the role of spatial variation in environmental systems to increase our understanding of environmental change and support environmental management.
The applicant will be based in the Department of Spatial Analysis and Decision Support of the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM). The department investigates the role of spatial variation in environmental systems to increase the understanding of environmental change and support environmental management. Methods include monitoring environmental change by remote sensing and multi-scale analysis of spatial patterns and processes.
The Wageningen Institute for Environment and Climate Research (WIMEK Graduate School) aims to develop an integrated understanding of environmental change and its impacts on the quality of life and sustainability. The major research topics are (i) nutrients and micropollutants; (ii) environmental processes and ecosystem dynamics; (iii) global environmental change and (iv) sustainable development and social change
The Doctoral Programme in Environmental Sciences aims to combine the pursuit of solutions to global issues (environment, ecology and social development) and a new methodological philosophy improving young researchers’ scientific culture and skills.
MINES ParisTech
Description of the center and the fields of research : The activities of the Centre of Geosciences are being developed in the field of Earth Sciences and the Environment. It covers virtually all scientific disciplines in this field, from geology to geodetics, via geophysics, geostatistics, hydrogeology, geochemistry and geomechanics. Its research activities are developing in four areas : - Exploitation of mineral raw materials and fossil fuels; - Long term stability of geological environments and their installations; - Authorized environments;- Risks associated with the soil and sub-soil.

Utrecht University
This project aims at examining how increased environmental stress affects facilitative interactions between plants and how this, in turn, might affect the occurrence of critical ecosystem transitions
Cardiff University
The Cardiff School of City and Regional Planning is a major international centre for research in the areas of planning, environment, housing and spatial policy.
University of Aberdeen
The Northern Rivers Institute, School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen, Scotland seeks applicants for a PhD studentship. Experience in statistical and/or numerical analyses, GIS, biology and hydrology, and/ or environmental tracer applications would be advantageous.
Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU)
The challenge addressed by this program is how to increase sustainability on different scales (society, sector, company, products/services), with the major emphasis on improving environmental and economic performance of important activities in society.
