The Chair of Hydrology promotes especially PhD studies strongly relating to experimental hydrology in order to turn the present experimental sites into “the field laboratory par excellence”, in which the feasibility of innovative experimental research is warranted. A combination of field and modelling work is requested, what requires talent, motivation as well as broadly based theoretical and practical skills.
In this context the exchange with national and international research groups of other labs / universities during the PhD project is welcome.
