Freshwater lakes are crucial for both biodiversity and human well-being. They host a variety of unique species and provide multiple ecosystem services, including water purification, food provision and recreational opportunities. At the same time, lakes are among the most threatened ecosystems worldwide. For instance, only 10% of Dutch lakes have good ecological status, partly due to their nutrient status leading to excessive algal growth that affects recreation, drinking water supply and biodiversity.
In the international PLURALAKES project we aim to improve the outcomes of lake management by developing innovative lake management solutions in close collaboration with stakeholders in three case study areas in Northern Europe (United Kingdom, Finland and the Netherlands). First, we assess current lake dynamics, drivers, ecosystem services and the efficacy of available management measures based on data synthesis and process-based modelling. In addition, we will work with stakeholders to understand their vision on desired lake futures and possible management interventions for getting there. Based on this, we will develop pathways towards desirable lake futures to inform local policy processes.
Profile
You hold a PhD degree in freshwater ecology.
You have proven experience with process-explicit ecological modelling.
You have a solid basis in at least one common high-level programming language (e.g., R, Python, Matlab).
