Evapotranspiration (ET) from soil and vegetation is a key part of the energy and water budgets and, with condensation, a process that links both explicitly. Accurate experimental determination of ET is a requirement yet challenging both in situ and remotely. It introduces uncertainties for model parameterization development and validation. Furthermore, …

New model for computationally efficient modeling of floods and droughts
Many distributed hydrological models are computationally demanding, limiting their use in calibration, sensitivity analysis, or scenario analysis. Based on the theory that many catchments behave essentially as simple dynamical systems, Joost Buitink recently developed a distributed model that does not have this limitation and can be run on a normal …

PhD students are expected to follow several courses as part of their training plan. One of these courses is the A2, which is aimed at increasing the impact of, and communication about the PhD research. To fulfil the requirements of the course, Marta Antonelli produced a nice video explaining hydrologic …

Over the course of the 2020 summer, several personal grants were awarded for PhD research in our team. Harro Jongen recently joined the team in November 2020, funded by a personal PhD grant from the Wageningen Institute for Environment and Climate Research (WIMEK) graduate programme. He will work on the coupling …
