PhD project: Reconstructing fire history
Zurich, Switzerland
Can we read the fire-history from a “muddy archive”? Biomass burning and fossil fuel combustion reconstructed from North-American lake sediments
In collaboration with research partners from other institutions, including the Biogeosciences Group led by Tim Eglinton at the Geology Department ETH, the PhD student will collect and analyze samples, and interpret results. Laboratory measurements will include cutting edge analytical approaches such as isotopic (13C, 14C) characterization of specific molecular fire markers.
