You'll be working closely with a team of researchers @bristolbiosci.bsky.social and alogside some amazing partners at Forest Research @watts-km.bsky.social and a wider network of collabroators across Europe.
Do get in touch if you have questions about the role. Applications close on 27 November

This is consistent with almost all of our work - increased methane production was not directly due to warming but increased rainfall. Understanding future feedbacks and tipping points requires a very strong understanding of not just the biotic response to warming but to changing hydrometeorology.

But there is another exciting finding in this work. There still is a methane response, and it appears to be associated with a freshening of the lake. The freshening could have diluted the terminal electron acceptors that compete with methanogenesis.

To explore that further, we investigated the response in a saline lake of the Jianghan Basin. As expected, the response is muted, almost certainly because high sulfate concentrations in the lake inhibited methanogenesis.

Again and again, we see enhanced methane cycling in peatlands and lakes and even the Arctic Ocean at the onset of warming 56 million years ago at the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum, a likely positive feedback on global warming.
