The Research Training Group 2530 ‘Biota-mediated effects on Carbon cycling in Estuaries’ („Biota-mediated effects on Carbon cycling in Estuaries”, RTG2530 ; Spokesperson team: Prof. Dr. Kai Jensen and Prof. Dr. Elisa Schaum, Department of Biology) will continue to be funded by the German Research Foundation for the next 4.5 years. (Press release)
The RTG2530 focuses on carbon cycling in estuaries. These areas where large rivers flow into the sea are an important part of the marine and global carbon cycle. The scientists in RTG2530 are investigating how plants, animals and microorganisms influence carbon cycling. The interdisciplinary investigations are mainly taking place in the Elbe estuary. Results of RTG2530 are intended to improve existing Earth System Models.
Research Training Groups are established by universities to support researchers in the early stages of their careers and are funded by the DFG for a maximum of nine years. The focus is on the qualification of doctoral students within the framework of a thematically focused research program and a structured qualification concept.
