I am an aquatic ecologist working on inland waters, mainly lakes and sometimes rivers. My research focuses on the use of monitoring techniques such as earth observations, in situ sensors and citizen science in combination with water quality and ecological modelling to get better insights in the ecological and biodiversity status of inland waters.

Key words: sensoring, citizen science, ecology

Relevant projects:
- The ESA project BIOMONDO (http://www.biomondo.info/)
- The H2020 project EOMORES (https://eomores.eu/)
- Ecological effects of floating solar panels (https://publicwiki.deltares.nl/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=201032277, in Dutch)

I am looking for a project that would like to include biodiversity of inland waters as a case study. In the Netherlands, I can offer data from in situ, EO and models, of lake Markermeer from several decades. In this lake, several measures to improve the ecological status and biodiversity, have been implemented and this is therefore a very nice case study.
