<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nResearch<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n In my PhD, I aim to quantify the amount of seasonal snow in mountainous catchments around the world since the start of the 20th century. While today we have snow stations and satellite observations to help us quantify the amount of water stored as snow, I am interested in the years and the catchments where the only observations we have are temperature, precipitation and streamflow. Through an inverse hydrological modeling approach, I estimate the amount of snowfall, and the timing of snowmelt responsible for the streamflow at the catchment outlet. If successful, this approach can help us recover the large amounts of snow information embedded in the long streamflow records, and teach us more about the influence of climate change on seasonal snow over the past century. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Educational background<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Conferences<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Languages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dutch (native) Contact<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Institute of Earth Surface Dynamics (IDYST), <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" PhD student (doctoral assistant) since 01.04.2021 Research In my PhD, I aim to quantify the amount of seasonal snow in mountainous catchments around the world since the start of the 20th century.
