Graduation Work / Internships
Closing date for applications: • Location: LeipzigMaster Thesis – Aerobic biodegradation potential of benzothiazole and mercaptobenzothiazole
The master’s thesis is thematically linked with a PhD study aiming for the characterization of BT and MBT biodegradation by soil-plant systems using stable isotope approaches, and embedded in the PhD colloquium CLEANER investigating pollutant-sink functions of Blue-Green Infrastructures (https://www.ufz.de/index.php?en=49715).
Closing date for applications: • Location: LeipzigMaster Thesis – Investigation of the impact of ATES systems on local groundwater microbiome
Underground thermal energy storage in aquifers (Aquifer Thermal Energy Storage, ATES) can make an important contribution to seasonal heat management in urban areas. The aim of the master thesis is to investigate the effects of ATES systems on the groundwater microbiome and on the local contamination of the aquifer by means of laboratory microcosm experiments.
