Caroline’s work focuses on understanding how mountain catchments, specifically ones with glaciers, are changing in a warming climate and how that affects the downstream water supply. She completed her Ph.D. in at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada, in 2022, during which she assessed the changes in the hydrology of glacierized basins […]
Esther has a background in hydrology and ecology, having completed her studies at Wageningen University in 2020. After finishing her degree, she started working as a researcher at KWR Water, where she focused on projects related to ecohydrology and drought in the Netherlands. For her PhD project, Esther will be […]
Léo Martin works at understanding the environmental changes that occur on the Tibetan Plateau. He is mainly focused on unraveling the changes in permafrost and the active layer, how they contribute to the water balance of the Plateau and whether they affect hydrological system. To do so, he combines field observations […]
Sanita is a water resources engineer passionate about the use of decision support systems and integrated models for evidence-based policy and decision making in water resources management. She leads Work Package 2 under the SustaIndus project that will explore the water-energy linkages of the larger water-energy-food nexus in the Indus […]
Fanny has worked on remote sensing of glaciers. From small scale analyses of debris-covered glaciers to large scale mapping of glacier mass balances across High Mountain Asia. At present she focuses on Tibetan Plateau lake and glacier changes.
Maxime focuses his efforts on linking broadscale climate to glacier and snow melt. He has spent a lot of time in the field in Nepal building weather stations and gathering data to validate what he sees in the remote sensing data.
Jakob, originally from Tirol in Austria, did an MSc in Environmental Engineering at ETH Zurich (Switzerland), working on ice cliffs on debris covered glaciers in the Nepalese Himalayas. He also holds a degree in Classical Music from Innsbruck (Austria). His PhD focuses on closing the water balance in mountainous catchments […]
Pleun Bonekamp obtained her bachelor Soil, Water and Atmosphere with a minor in Physics of the Climate system at Wageningen University in 2014. She continued the master Meteorology, Physical Oceanography and Climate at the IMAU, Utrecht University including an eight-month internship at the KNMI, where she gathered a physical background […]
