Project FlashForest: Implementing Lightning-Induced Tree Mortality in LPJ-GUESS

As a research assistant on lightning-induced tree mortality, you will contribute to the implementation of lightning-induced tree mortality in the dynamic global vegetation model LPJ-GUESS. The project aims to assess the global importance of lightning on forest ecosystems and investigate the impacts of future changes in lightning activity.

Tasks and Responsibilities
  • Assist in the literature review on observed lightning-induced tree mortality and lightning data/projections
  • Contribute to model development and analysis of model output
Requirements
  • Strong interest in the topic of lightning-induced tree mortality
  • Excellent English skills, particularly the ability to read and write scientific English
  • Basic knowledge in scientific programming (e.g. R, Python, C++)
What We Offer

As a research assistant at the Technical University of Munich, you will have the opportunity to work on a cutting-edge project that contributes to our understanding of lightning-induced tree mortality. You will be part of a team of researchers who are passionate about forest ecology and dynamic global vegetation models.

Send your application, including a max. 1-page motivation letter, CV, and transcripts, to Dr. Andreas Krause. For more information on the project, contact Dr. Krause.

    Research Assistant - Lightning-Induced Tree MortalityProject BackgroundLightning is a significant disturbance in forest ecosystems, often underestimated. Recent research suggests it may be the primary cause of large tree mortality in tropical forests. In some temperate forests, lightning is considered a major cause of mortality. Lightning affects forest...
