How does hydrological connectivity interact to influence water storage, runoff generation, groundwater recharge, and streamflow across the landscape?

This position is part of the project “Securing Terrestrial Water Cycles: the Helmholtz SOlution Lab Elbe RiVEr Basin (SOLVE)” (funded by the Helmholtz Association). We are looking for a candidate to investigate the hydrological/hydrogeological connectivity in the Elbe River basin to assess groundwater resilience under climatic and water management scenarios. Activities will rely on coupled hydrological and groundwater modelling combined with machine learning techniques to quantify groundwater recharge and resilience to climate variability, predict possible developments under future climate change, and thus provide guidance for its sustainable management. The successful candidate will closely interact with other partners in SOLVE and, in particular, in the WP HYDROCONNECT, where soil mo...
