Researcher at Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University
Tbilisi, Georgia
About
Looking for:
Consortium partners (coordinators or fellow partners) for a Horizon Europe NATURE Call proposal on coastal ecosystem restoration and biodiversity monitoring, within the scope of Living Labs for ecosystem restoration, cost-effective biodiversity monitoring, and ocean/coastal observation.
Offering:
- A field-ready case study: the Anaklia-Poti Black Sea coast and the adjacent Ramsar-protected Kolkheti wetlands, affected by dam-induced sediment deficit, dune erosion, and salinization
- Established field-monitoring infrastructure and local institutional access in Georgia
- An interdisciplinary team: ecology, geology, hydrology, botany, zoology, ichthyology
About us:
Vakhushti Bagrationi Institute of Geography, Tbilisi State University, with 11+ years of experience in coastal geodynamics and wetland ecology research in the South Caucasus.
