These vacancies are part of a prestigious Consolidator project funded by the European Research Council (ERC). FireIce is an interdisciplinary project combining field, remote sensing and modeling approaches to study feedbacks between climate warming and fires in the northern high latitudes. The project includes funding for several field campaigns in eastern Siberia. Project partners of FireIce include Woodwell Climate Research Center, Northern Arizona University and the Russian Academy of Sciences. Close interaction with NASA's Arctic-Boreal Vulnerability Experiment (ABoVE) will be sought.
