Space-based data-driven solutions for quantifying dynamics, drivers and quality of surface water resources across space and time

As a researcher, I am interested in the application of satellite data, remote sensing and statistical modeling for improving the management of water resources on globally significant scales. I am particularly passionate about the huge potential of time series satellite data and high performance computing for addressing the proliferation of the global freshwater and biodiversity crisis and try to communicate this with the general public as much as possible.
