Are you ready to team up combining benefits from climate and biodiversity action? The Admire project calls upon you to create a sound scientific base for peatland rewetting and communicate it to actors in the Netherlands and Belgium. Join our inspiring team connecting award winning peatland science to innovative solutions for paludiculture and healthy landscapes.
Your research and teamwork will aim at identifying novel opportunities for peatland restoration that minimise trade-offs among carbon storage, biomass production, biodiversity, and water- or nutrient-related regulation ecosystem services. You will be working on the
Interreg ADMIRE project and associated paludiculture projects. Your primary goal is to take a leading role in identifying opportunities for biodiversity and climate protection and their synergies in peat soils in protected areas (NL/Be). Your work will include field measurements such as those of GHG emissions, biomass carbon dynamics and soil biogeochemistry. Using the project’s vegetation and groundwater data, you will quantify management scenarios using the GEST approach to improve estimates of GHG emissions and carbon sequestration potential in rewetted peatlands. Your work will lead to scientific publications in the field of integrative peatland sciences. Within the
Admire project your work will contribute to a decision support system that minimises trade-offs between ecosystem services and summarises existing knowledge on climate-benefiting peatland restoration.
You will engage with actors on the landscape scale sharing your insights and scientific publications together with your two Radboud team members within Admire.
