The ICBM working group "Processes and Sensing of Marine Interfaces" offers the opportunity to undertake a bachelor's or master's thesis in a coastal oceanography project with Matthias Koschorreck from Helmholtz-Zentrum für Umweltforschung (UFZ). There is a chance to complete a contact internship beforehand. A better understanding of the turbulence effects in air-sea gas exchange is necessary to enhance climate models. We propose measuring air-sea gas fluxes alongside oceanic turbulence. We will use two buoys to measure air-sea gas fluxes, an Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler and an Acoustic Doppler Velocimeter attached to the buoy. You can conduct field sampling in Jade Bay or a drinking water reservoir and gain hands-on experience preparing and maintaining ocean technology. This work could produce a quality paper, especially for a master's thesis.

You should have:

·       • A passion for fieldwork

·       • A strong interest in multidisciplinary research

·       • Confidence in communicating in English

We offer:

·       • Experience operating the Sniffle (an autonomous drifting buoy for measuring air-sea CO₂ fluxes).

·       • Data processing using Python and/or Matlab® along with big data management.

·       • A pleasant working environment in an interdisciplinary and international team.
