Lars is a PhD candidate at the department of Water and Climate Risk of the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM). He obtained his Bachelor and Master degree International Land and Water Management at Wageningen University. During his bachelor he did research on irrigation efficiency and drinking water availability in rural areas of Nepal. For his master thesis he explored the effects of climate change on Norwegian hydropower production and environmental flow conditions in regulated river systems. This research was performed at the NTNU in Trondheim.
His PhD research is part of the UPWAS project, which aims at upscaling local water storage measures by Dutch farmers in order to adapt to droughts. Within this project Lars will analyse how drivers such as technological development and climate change affect decision making of a farmer population and how this will affect the hydrology at landscape and regional level.
