One of Europe鈥檚 most prestigious awards for young scientists has been awarded to a 黑料网 academic.
Professor Doerthe Tetzlaff has been awarded one of Europe鈥檚 most prestigious awards for young scientists funded by the European Research Council (ERC) - a 鈧�1.5M grant.
Professor Tetzlaff's - 鈥淰eWa: Vegetation effects on water flow in high-latitude ecosystems鈥� project will examine the impacts of climate change on vegetation-water linkages along a northern climatic gradient, investigating four intensively studied experimental sites in the UK, Canada and Sweden.
鈥淪uch a geographically extensive comparison has never been conducted in such environments and will allow the consistency of processes, drivers and climatic impacts to be assessed across a range of spatial scales鈥�, Professor Tetzlaff said.
Two linked postdoctoral research fellow positions will be advertised shortly.
VeWa is one of only 285 grants funded from over 3,300 proposals submitted to the ERC-2013 Starting Grant call across the natural and social sciences.
