Methane (CH4) emissions are far more devastating to global climate than carbon dioxide\u00a0as CH4 is 21-times more potent a greenhouse gas on a per molecule basis. The\u00a0International Panel for Climate Change recognise lakes as a major source of CH4\u00a0accounting for 20% of global emissions. Despite the key role of lakes in the supply of\u00a0greenhouse gases a lack of understanding of the key processes controlling the release of\u00a0lacustrine CH4 prevents an accurate assessment of the likely impact of climate change\u00a0on future emissions. In this exciting new multidisciplinary project you will collect state of\u00a0the art physical and biogeochemical observations in the Lake District, in part using cutting\u00a0edge equipment providing high temporal and spatial resolution measurements, and\u00a0combine these with a numerical model to identify the key pathways for methane from the\u00a0lake bed to the atmosphere. In particular you will identify the impact of extreme weather\u00a0on methane emissions by lakes.<\/p>\n
Applicants should hold a minimum of a UK Honours Degree at 2:1 level or equivalent in a\u00a0numerically demanding subject such as Environmental Science, Ocean Science,\u00a0Oceanography, Meteorology, Physics or Chemistry.<\/p>\n
