听Scholarship Name:听 ARC Funded Research PhD Scholarship

听顿别蝉肠谤颈辫迟颈辞苍:听 The School of Life Sciences at UTS includes, amongst others, 3 globally-recognised research teams: the Terrestrial Ecohydrology Research Group, led by Professor Derek Eamus, the Remote Sensing Research Group, led by Professor Alfredo Huete and the Terrestrial Productivity Modelling Research Group led by Professor Qiang Yu. Interaction among these 3 co-located groups is strong, allowing trans-disciplinary approaches to big science questions. This PhD Scholarship is part of a recently awarded ARC-funded research project awarded to Professor Eamus, within the Terrestrial Ecohydrology Research Group. Title: Determining the growth and physiological responses of trees to groundwater abstraction from shallow aquifers Project Description: Groundwater dependent ecosystems rely on a supply of groundwater for the maintenance of their structure and function, including growth and rates of water-use. This project will focus on determining the ecophysiological responses of trees to groundwater abstraction and involves close collaboration with 3 industry partners (Hunter Water Corporation, Mid-Coast Water and the NSW Office of Water). A principle aim of this project is to develop a real-time sensitive indicator of tree responses to groundwater abstraction as an aid to sustainable management of groundwater resources and groundwater dependent ecosystems.
