Good news! Our Climate Future Lab “FoResLab” will be funded by the Ministry for Science and Culture of Lower Saxony! Therefore, we offer a PhD or Postdoctoral position (75%, 36 months, potential extension for 36 months) in our research group at the Department of Environmental Geochemistry at the Institute of Geoecology, Technical University of Braunschweig!

I was honored to give a presentation at this years’ ESA conference. In the session “A New Era in Understanding Plant Root Distributions”, organized by Andrew Kulmatiski from the Utah State University, I spoke about the current state of in situ soil and plant water isotope measurements.

How can the water uptake depths of trees be measured? - Kathrin Kühnhammer dealt with this topic for about 5 years in her doctoral thesis “Uncovering the dynamics of tree root water uptake with in situ isotope techniques”.

Back in 2019/2020 Isodrones were part of the big, interdisciplinary project B2 WALD (Water, Atmosphere and Life Dynamics) at an enclosed model tropical ecosystem at Biosphere 2, Arizona, USA. Isodrones PhD student Kathrin Kühnhammer rarely left this weird and wonderful place for three months.
