About me

PhD student Environmental Analysis, MSc Environmental Engineering. Exploring how Earth observation can advance our understanding of worldwide water disaster risk, with a certain emphasis of vulnerability aspects.

Research

My research uses planetary-scale geospatial datasets and worldwide archives to uncover dynamics between hydrological extremes and societies, through quantitative GIS analysis. I use Earth observation to test if results from case studies also appear as generic patterns at larger scales. As a starting point of my PhD, I have reviewed the availability and usability of free planetary-scale geospatial datasets to facilitate water disaster research.
