The end of the Messinian salinity crisis and how to repopulate a marine basin The Messinian Salinity Crisis was the greatest paleoenvironmental perturbation in the Mediterranean Sea, and took place around 5.5 million years ago, when the marine connection to the Atlantic Ocean was restricted, leading to drastic reduction in biodiversity and the complete restructuring of the marine biota. After the Messinian Salinity Crisis, the Mediterranean–Atlantic gateway opening at Gibraltar initiated the reconnection to the global ocean, allowing for the influx of marine species, which took place within a few months to years. However, this influx did not lead to the expected, also rapid (re)establishment of populations, an observation which can only be explained by the lack of favorable paleoenvironmental conditions in the Mediterranean basin. The aim of this PhD project will be to investigate the establishment of different marine taxa in a previously hypersaline basin. The student will...

MISSION TO METRICS In our mission to rid the world’s oceans of plastic, we rely on a thorough understanding of the global plastic pollution problem and its impact on marine life. The Environmental and Social Affairs team at The Ocean Cleanup aims to ensure the net positive environmental and social impact of The Ocean Cleanup's operations by investigating the risks and benefits of cleaning up plastic pollution in rivers and on the high seas. An important research aspect is investigating how marine life in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP) is affected by plastic. To this end, the team is researching plastic ingestion by fish and other marine life in the GPGP. You will be responsible for analyzing the plastic ingestion by fish collected from the GPGP in our laboratory in Rotterdam. Taking on the responsibility for the sample analysis and working independently in the laboratory is an important part of this internship. The ​project's success relies on delivering high-quality...
