Our student presented his study at NWO-NAC conference

Our master’s student presented his thesis at the NWO-NAC conference on the topic of streamflow changes due to the development of Indonesia’s new capital (IKN). In his study, he evaluates the changes in streamflow regimes before the IKN development, at present (2024), and under future conditions when IKN is fully developed. His findings indicate that streamflow will be higher during the rainy season and lower during the dry season compared to pre-IKN conditions. The implementation of Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) in IKN helps mitigate extreme high and low flows when the development is complete. However, NBS alone cannot restore the streamflow regime to its original state.

NWO NAC brings together the research fields within the Earth and Environmental Sciences from the remit of the NWO Domain Science. The event aims to provide a true interdisciplinary forum for discussion and for young scientists to present their research results to a broad audience and to get some really crucial feedback.

Hello,

I’m Samuel

I am an expert in natural hazard forecasting and climate information services, with a specialization in compound extremes, their impacts, and climate adaptation. I have been involved in numerous projects across Indonesia and Europe. Additionally, I am passionate about teaching and supervising students.

Currently I am working at Earth Systems and Global Change (ESC) group, Wageningen University and Research (WUR) as an Assistant Professor (UD1) in Compound Hydrological Extremes and Climate Services.

About me

I am a scientist with a passion for shaping future leaders and making the world a better place by reducing the impacts of natural hazards. In my free time, I enjoy playing badminton and tennis, as well as road biking.

I studied Civil Engineering at Parahyangan Catholic University in Bandung, Indonesia, with a major in Hydrology and Hydraulics. I completed my master’s degree in Hydrology and Water Resources at UNESCO-IHE Delft, the Netherlands and obtained my PhD from the Atmospheric Physics and Chemistry group at Utrecht University, the Netherlands.
