About

drought.NL is a platform for research on drought processes, quantification, and its impacts on water resources, agriculture, and natural ecosystems. It serves as the informal homepage of the climate hydrology team at Wageningen University.

The climate hydrology team is lead by Ryan Teuling, associate professor in the Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management Group at Wageningen University. Our research focusses on the interaction between hydrological and atmospheric processes, from diurnal to climate change timescales.
