DESCRIPTION:Prof. Wouter Berghuijs\n10:30 – 11:15 – Prof. W. Berghuijs
 \nAssistant Professor at Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam\, The Netherlands\n\
 nEmerging patterns unravel catchments\n\nWater shapes Earth’s landscapes
 \, ecosystems\, and human societies at timescales ranging from minutes to 
 many thousands of years. The movement of water is governed by simple physi
 cs\, but existing theories are hard to upscale to the complex landscapes a
 nd hydroclimatic conditions of Earth. As a result\, most hydrological stud
 ies report place-specific findings\, without providing much insight into h
 ow these findings may apply elsewhere or in the future. In this talk\, I w
 ill show how simple hydrological patterns – at time scales ranging from 
 single storm events to thousands of years – emerge across catchments glo
 bally and help to reveal the processes that shape these catchments’ beha
 viors. These patterns allow us to better understand place-based prediction
 s from knowing global trends\, and help to predict catchments’ behaviors
  elsewhere\, and into the future.\n\nShort bio:\nWouter Berghuijs is assis
 tant professor of catchment hydrology at the Free University Amsterdam. He
  studies how landscapes control the movement of water from precipitation t
 o rivers and the atmosphere\, and how these controls may shift in space an
 d time. His research focuses on catchment hydrology\, thereby exploring wa
 ter’s connections with climate\, land cover\, geomorphology\, and biogeo
 chemical cycling. Dr. Berghuijs obtained a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in civil engine
 ering from Delft University of Technology (2014)\, and a Ph.D. from the Un
 iversity of Bristol (2017). He spent four years as a postdoctoral research
 er at ETH Zurich\, before becoming faculty at the Department of Earth Scie
 nces of the Free University Amsterdam in early 2021.\n
