Postdoc: climate change and Rocky Mountain fishes
13/01/12 21:35
Consequences of Climate Change for Alpine Lake-Stream Networks and Native Fishes in the Southern Rocky Mountains
Climate change has the potential to influence western native trout through multiple pathways including increased temperatures, wildfire, and more variable precipitation and runoff patterns. These threats, along with the recreational and conservation importance of native trout, amplify the need to understand the potential consequences of climate change for these fishes. Currently, predictive models account for abiotic habitat characteristics for rivers (for example, stream temperature) that are driven by climate, but these models have little applicability to lake systems.

Postdoc: permafrost in a warming world
13/01/12 21:33
Postdoctoral research position in the Department of Biology at the University of Florida
We are seeking to fill a Postdoctoral research position in the Department of Biology at the University of Florida. The fellow will assist in a Department of Energy funded project focused on the fate of permafrost carbon in a warming world. The research is field and lab based, with the primary field location near Denali National Park and Preserve, Alaska. The research foci are (1) net ecosystem carbon exchange and loss of old C from a gradient of sites undergoing permafrost thaw, and similar measurements in (2) a new experimental manipulation of permafrost thaw and water table. Radiocarbon measurements of C pools and fluxes are an important component of this project for determining the age of C losses from ecosystems.

PhD position: wetland hydroperiod
28/12/11 19:48
I am recruiting a MS or PhD student to investigate how long-term changes in climate will impact water (distribution, abundance, quality) and ecosystem services (e.g., biodiversity and livestock production) in Wyoming range systems. The effects of climate change are critically important in semi- arid systems where water is the ultimate limiting factor. Water availability is predicted to decrease in Wyoming rangelands regardless of precipitation due to temperature-related increases in vegetative evapotranspiration rates. In addition, annual water supply in high elevation systems is dependent on spring snowmelt from the mountains which may be significantly impacted by shifts in precipitation timing. Water shortage has negative consequences for both biodiversity and human resource use.

Hydrologist/programmer position
22/10/11 02:41
The Western States Water Council (WSWC) is looking to fill an open Hydrologist/Programmer position. The WSWC is looking for an energetic recent or near graduate in hydrology with an interest in, as well as experience with computer programming. The project will focus on helping the western states develop a water use and water availability data exchange. The purpose of this is to help the western states be in a better position to support the Department of Energy's water for energy studies and USGS's Water Census as well as other water availability and water planning studies. These types of data have historically been one of the weak links in the suite of water data, and the western states are committed to try to address these issues. Read More...

Knowledge Brokers Workshop Report
The final report of the Climate and Development Knowledge Brokers Workshop is now available at: http://cdkn.org/2011/09/putting-climate-knowledge-brokers-on-the-map/
Convened by CDKN, GIZ and PIK-Potsdam in June 2011, it brought together 21 leading climate knowledge sharing initiatives to discuss how they could collaborate better so information is more readily available to developing country users. We concluded that there is both scope and enthusiasm for closer collaboration. For more on the workshop and the Climate Knowledge Group that has been established to push ahead with the collaboration agenda, see: http://en.openei.org/wiki/Knowledge_Brokers_Workshop
Funding Call
CDKN has also just launched a funding call aimed at encouraging closer collaboration between online knowledge brokers. The closing deadline is 3 October 2011. Full details can be found at: http://cdkn.org/project/knowledge-brokers-fund/
