Fully funded summer project on heatwave impacts on seagrass ecosystems of varying genetic diversity

The importance of genetic diversity and small-scale environmental variability in shaping key coastal ecosystems

We are looking for a Bachelor/Master/Internship student skilled (or interested) in Benthic Ecology: The participant will join a larger-scale experiment run in summer 2020 at the Tjärnö Marine Laboratory, located on an island in the Kosterhavet marine national park, at the Swedish west coast 2 hours north of Gothenburg. Travel expenses and the stay in the guesthouse are fully funded.

New Story in the major Swedish daily newspaper in Finland

This articles apparently follows an interview that I had some weeks ago on my new position here in Turku. We talked about possible measures that could reduce the pressure on tourism during climate extremes such as marine heatwaves. So these ideas are accompanied with a comment from the tourist business – which apparently never thought of potential environmental impacts of their business. So it is about time.
