Aim
Unite all young hydrologists who work in the Netherlands.
Target audience
Everyone who considers themselves a hydrologist and young, and is working in the Netherlands (you do not have to be Dutch!). This is not only limited to scientists, but to everyone in the field of hydrology. We try to connect young hydrologists from universities, research institutes and consultancy firms.
What can YHS-NL do for you?
We organize activities, workshops and other networking opportunities with and for you. These activities can take place anytime, for instance during a conference in the Netherlands or together with the Young Hydrologic Society during international conferences. Besides, if you have an idea, we can support you in organizing an activity. Hence, YHS-NL will offer a great opportunity to meet each other and start building your network!
Organizing committee YHS-NL
Anna Luisa Hemshorn de Sánchez
Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam
YHS-NL Chair
I am a PhD candidate at the VU Amsterdam (between the Earth Science Department and the IVM) and Deltares. My PhD is part of the RESHAPE project and focuses on nature-inspired water-system solutions to increase the resilience towards droughts and floods in Dutch sand landscapes. I enjoy being creative by drawing, working with wood, sewing or dancing, and laughing with family and friends. I like speaking different languages and appreciate diverse environments.
Rahel Hauk
Wageningen University & Research
Rahel Hauk is a PhD candidate at the Hydrology and Quantitative Water Management group of Wageningen University. Her research focuses on macroplastic litter in rivers, more specifically macroplastic litter accumulation on riverbanks. When she does not compare plastic monitoring data to riverbank characteristics, she enjoys reading, traveling, bouldering, being outside and most recently, counting butterflies as a citizen scientist.
Jorge Vega Briones
Utrecht University
YHS-NL Secretary
Jorge is a second-year PhD candidate at Utrecht University, Faculty of Physical Geography. His work focuses on quantifying drought impacts and their effects on terrestrial ecosystems in South America. For this purpose, he is using hydrological models, satellite retrievals, and collecting dendrochronology samples to link hydrological droughts with vegetation impacts. During his free time, he enjoys sports, music, and cooking.
Prajwal Khanal
University of Twente
Prajwal Khanal is currently pursuing his PhD at the ITC, University of Twente. His research revolves around predicting biophysical variables at a finer resolution, with a primary focus on drought monitoring, particularly within the context of the Netherlands. Beyond his academic pursuits, Prajwal enjoys engaging in diverse activities such as hiking, playing and watching football, reading books, and indulging in photography.
Julia Rudlang
Delft University of Technology
I am a PhD candidate at the Water Management department of Delft University of Technology. My research focuses on the changes and the sensitivity of change (or lack thereof) of European rivers and the underlying drivers and mechanisms of this. In my free time I like to go to the beach, read and drink coffee.
