The ICBM working group ‘‘Processes and sensing of marine interfaces’ offers the possibility to do a bachelor or master thesis in a coastal oceanography project, together with Leonie Esters, a guest scientist from Uppsala University. There is an opportunity to complete a contact internship beforehand. A better understanding of the turbulence effect in air-sea CO₂ exchange is needed to improve global carbon budgeting. We propose to measure air-sea CO₂ fluxes together with oceanic turbulence. In order to do so, we will use our autonomous drifting buoy to measure air-sea CO₂ fluxes and ADCP (Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler) and ADV (Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter) attached to the buoy. You will be able to sample in the field (Jade Bay) and win hands-on experience in preparing and maintenance ocean technology. We expect this work to be in paper-worth quality (especially for master thesis).

You should have:

·         Enthusiasm for field work

·         Strong interest in multidisciplinary research

·         Confident with communication in English
