Teaching

I coordinate and teach the Disaster Risk Management and Nature Based Solution course, in which students learn about natural hazards and nature-based approaches in risk management, with the DRR cycle and integrated flood management (IFM) as point of departure. This is a course that has a broad scope and covers both technical and socio-economic approaches for disaster risk management and nature based solutions.

I also provide lectures in the courses Adaptation and Mitigation Services for Society, Introduction to Environmental Systems Analysis, Design of Climate Change Mitigation and Adaptation Strategies, Research Approaches in Land and Water Management, and more.

The Figure below shows the big picture of DRM and NBS course.

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.
