NERC PhD Studentship

"What drives emissions of isoprene over the Amazon basin?" is a great opportunity to make in situ measurements of isoprene in the Amazon rainforest and to analyze them using a start-of-the-art emissions model.
This project is in close collaboration with Professor Juergen Kesselmeier, Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry, Mainz, Germany.
