My research focuses on hydrology aiming to improve our understanding of subsurface water circulation. This mainly related to landslide activity and discharge generation, specializing in quantifying preferential flow and linking it to slope stability and displacement. I have a strong interest in risk management and communication. Furthermore, I use stable water isotopes (2H, 18O)and develop and apply innovative tracers such as DTS using Fibre Optic Cable and synthetic DNA for hydrology.

After having obtained a PhD degree in Physical Geography (with a focus on catchment hydrology) at the University of Strasbourg (France) in 2000, I joined the Luxembourg Institute of Science and Technology (LIST) as a hydrologist. My efforts have been geared since then to gradually build a lasting research infrastructure, including a dense instrument network for monitoring hydro-meteorological variables across a wide range of clean and mixed geological settings in the Alzette River basin in Luxembourg. My strategy consisted in focusing on the water cycle and interdisciplinary approaches for overcoming the prevailing status quo in our understanding of water source, flowpaths and transit times, flood generation, as well as water pollution fate and transport. This strategy also consisted in building a critical mass of junior and senior researchers, project leaders, technicians and students for covering various complementary fields of expertise (hydrochemistry, geology, remote sensing, environmental modelling, etc.). With progress in hydrological sciences having been largely thwarted by the spatial and temporal complexity of involved processes, I believe the advent of new technologies, interdisciplinary approaches, concepts and models to be key pillars for designing and implementing new strategies for a sustainable management of water resources exposed to global change. Hydrology remaining a field that is measurement limited – even more so in remote areas and/or characterized by cold climates, I have always advocated the exploration of innovative research avenues: e.g. measuring rainfall via microwaves emitted by cell phone relay antennas (in collaboration with telecommunication companies and cities), tracking rapid water flow paths with terrestrial diatoms as biological tracers (an idea since then picked up by fellow research teams elsewhere in Europe), or building a small-sized portable mass spectrometer for measuring stable isotopes of O and H in water.

This enables detailed mapping of temperature response to heat and frost mitigation measures and heat exchange between the canopy and the atmosphere. She participated in multiple EU-funded research projects pioneering novel approaches for multi-sensor rainfall products.

Pieter van der Zaag is professor of water resources management at the IHE Delft Institute for Water Education and at Delft University of Technology, The Netherlands. Pieter was a PostDoc researcher and thereafter lecturer and professor at the University of Zimbabwe from 1993 to 2003. He has special interests in agricultural water management, water allocation issues in catchment areas and in the management of transboundary river basins, on which he has published widely. Pieter is fascinated by the dynamic relationship between biophysical and social processes when managing water, and in understanding patterns of cooperation over water. Pieter has a track record of formulating and guiding major interdisciplinary research and capacity building projects, including in Eswatini (Swaziland), Ethiopia, Ghana, India, Kenya, Mexico, Mozambique, Senegal, South Africa, Sudan, Tanzania, Vietnam and Zimbabwe. Pieter is associate editor of Water Policy, and member of the editorial board of Hydrology and Earth System Sciences. Pieter studied irrigation engineering at Wageningen University, and obtained his PhD degree on a study of irrigation management in Mexico. The following are Pieter’s current main research interests: o Harnessing water by smallholders from nature-based storage in (semi-)arid regions in Africa; o Water allocation in large irrigation systems – supporting canal operators with mobile model predictive control and earth observation techniques; o The role of inequality and heterogeneity in enduring water institutions.
