Hyporheic Zone Processes – A training network for enhancing the understanding of complex physical, chemical and biological process interactions

Deliverables

multi-scale modelling framework

Development and validation (focus sites) of integrated multi-scale modelling framework for identification of hyporheic exchange flows and residence time distributions. Discussions will take place via skype and at project meetings between interested ESRs and supervisors. Data and framework will be shared within the network on the internal communication platform.

measured rates of C, N, P turnover at focus sites

Spreadsheets of turnover rates of C, N, and P, N at Erpe and Tern to be compiled and lodged on the internal communication platform.

Publications in peer-reviewed journals

Research results will be published in leading international peer-reviewed journals. Typical journals could include Nature, Environmental Science and Technology, Water Research, Limnology & Oceanography, Applied and Environmental Microbiology, Ecology and many others. Dissemination will be monitored by the Director of Research who will also ensure that joint network publications will be produced which highlight the supradisciplinary approaches followed by HypoTRAIN.

HypoTRAIN Open Day

The open day is provisionally scheduled for March 22nd. It is targeted at final year BSc and MSc students. All ESRs will take part and informally talk about and demonstrate their research.

HypoTRAIN network conference & EHF meeting

The HypoTRAIN network conference will be held in month 40 at RU. All ESRs will present papers and partners will highlight the achievements of the network. The programme co-ordinator will also give an overview of the network. The conference will be open to all interested scientists.

Delivery of ATCs 1-12

These advanced training courses are open to all ESRs in the network. They are designed to broaden education and provide scientific excellence. They are supported by a broad range of institutions within the network and external support is brought in from outside where necessary. Some develop specific scientific skills (e.g. ATC 3 – modelling hyporheic processes hosted by KTH) whereas others polish complementary skills (e.g ATC10: the challenge of communicating science hosted by SU)

Field Course

Each ESR together with their supervisor presents aspects of their ESR project to the other ESRs This will take place in conjunction with the first field experiment It enables all ESRs to familiarise themselves with the application of advanced field techniques for sampling measuring and characterizing hyporheic processes and thus to broaden their technical and experimental knowledge

Advertisement of ESR positions

Vacancies will be advertised widely by placing a joint advert in a highprofile scientific journal eg Natureand on national and international portals eg EURAXESS AcademicJobsEUcom as well as on the networks website and those of the participating organisations The network will also advertise open positions at relevant international conferences eg EGU SETAC The advertisement will give a broad description of therequired knowledge and skills for each position and care will be taken to encourage a wide range of candidates to apply it will also include a description of working conditions and entitlements

coupled numerical flow models

Skype discussions and face to faces at project meetings of ESRs and supervisors involved in this area Documents spreadsheets to be drawn up and lodged on the internal communication platform

Summer School

A 5day indepth introduction into the scientific research to be carried out by HypoTRAIN Training will be delivered by HypoTRAIN consortium members and external experts and all ESRs will attend It includes sessions on communication and collaboration tracing hyporheic exchange biogeochemistry hyporheic ecology organic micropollutants and modelling

Roadmap for CPD course on hyporheic processes

This will provide detailed content for a future CPD course on hyporheic processes and will be published online. It is directed towards individuals with an existing basic knowledge of the hyporheic zone. It will build on the advanced training courses of HypoTRAIN and the findings of the research undertaken in the network.

Network website online

All information on the project will be summarised here and frequently updated The website will also serve as a repository for all media coverage and link to social media such as Facebook and Twitter The HypoTRAIN blog written by ESRs will also be hosted here and feature aspects of the research programme eg a summer school or a joint experiment

Podcasts

3 Podcasts will document the progress of the network and specific aspects of hyporheic processes. All ESRs will work together to develop the script and contribute orally to a podcast outlining the aims and progress of HypoTRAIN. Podcasts will be made publicly available via the HypoTRAIN website, plus the institutional websites of the participants.
