The overall aim of my research is to understand the role of freshwater in the Earth system and the well-being of societies. My main focus is currently on my ERC-funded project AQUAGUARD, where we assess changes in the global water cycle and their human drivers and Earth system impacts, with the aim to identify feasible and just opportunities for safeguarding freshwater’s life-supporting functions.
