with the environment. For our research on atmosphere # surface
exchange (currently the focus is on projects on the sheltering effect of
vegetation against soil or snow erosion), we are looking for a
PhD position, Flow over Snow, Soil and Vegetation

vegetated surface in our cold wind tunnel; ii) sheltering effect of vegetation
(grass) to reduce the boundary layer shear for the protection against soil
or snow erosion; iii) You also learn to operate the corresponding sensor
technology (hot wire, cantilever turbulence sensors) and publish your
results in international journals.
Your qualifications: University degree (Physics, Meteorology,
Engineering), first significant publications, experience in experimental
work and sensor technology, programming skills (MatLab, LabView),
