Your Tasks
- Focus on developing an exploratory landscape evolution model (LEM) and on collectively investigating (with the CHLS team) how climate change and human activities shape the landscape.
- Integrate mountain hazard processes (e.g. landslides, debris flow) into a LEM.
- Design your own research in the context of LEM in line withthe objectives of the CHLS research groupand publish results in peer-reviewed journals.
- Interdisciplinary collaboration within the CHLS team to enhance the conceptual model for the analysis of coupled human-landscape systems in mountain areas (Hossain et al. 2020). This includes the identification of crucial couplings and interactions within the biophysical dimension on different spatial and temporal scales.
- Contribute to a numerical prototype of a coupled human-landscape model, grounded in our conceptual framework and case-study sites. Socio-economic dynamics are covered by another postdoc focusing on agent-based modeling.
- Seek out and contribute to proposal writing efforts to secure third-party funding for further research within the group.
