Petrus (Peter) J. van Oevelen, PhD

My main area of research is in international research collaboration on climate, energy and water. In particular of interest to me is how global change is affecting the water, weather and climate in a specific region and how we can both better understand the changes, predict these and how to adapt to them in a sustainable way. A central theme to me is what the role of our humans is in changing the water cycle.

I have a background in agricultural hydrology and the use of satellite observations (in particular radar) to better understand land surface changes at regional and global scales.
