The analysis of proteins preserved in archaeological and paleontological contexts (termed palaeoproteomics) is an exciting new area in archaeological science, generating ground-breaking new insights into the phylogenies of extinct species, human and animal diets, as well as patterns of health and ...
The Department of Earth Sciences is now looking for a highly-motivated candidate to fill a PhD position on the impact of microbial treatment on the weathering behaviour of rocks. Physical, chemical and biological weathering has a profound impact on the Earth’s landscape and on its building ...
The Dutch Research Council VICI project “Towards protecting and improving building stones through microbial manipulation of pore structure”, will focus on the understanding of bio-manipulated pore-scale processes inside rocks. The 4-year PhD project aims at understanding fluid-rock ...
