Introduction
My research focuses on ecological modelling of waterbirds, tradeoffs between wetland ecosystem services in the broader agricultural landscape, and social drivers of environmental water management.

Although environmental flow regime assessments are becoming increasingly holistic, they rarely provoke water managers
to enact the adaptive water reallocation mechanisms required to secure environmental water for wetlands. The conditions
that cause science-based environmental flow assessments to succeed or fail in informing the management of envi...
Mangroves provide critical ecosystems services, contributing an estimated 42 billion US dollars to global fisheries, storing 25.5 million tons of carbon per year, and providing flood protection to over 15 million people annually. Yet, they are increasingly threatened by factors ranging from local resource exploitation to global climate change, with...

One great advantage of optical hyperspectral remote sensing from unmanned aerial systems (UAS) compared to satellite missions is the possibility to fly and collect data below clouds. The most typical scenario is flying below intermittent clouds and under turbulent conditions, which causes tilting of the platform. This study aims to advance hyperspe...
Many wetlands around the world that occur at the base of watersheds are under threat from land‐use change, hydrological alteration, nutrient pollution, and invasive species. A relevant measure of whether the ecological character of these ecosystems has changed is the species diversity of wetland‐dependent waterbirds, especially those of conservatio...

Key Messages.
The global extent of wetlands is now estimated to have declined
between 64-71% in the 20th century, and wetland losses and
degradation continue worldwide.
Because of wetland losses and degradation, people are deprived of

In many of the world’s river basins, the water resources are over-allocated and/or highly modified, access to good quality water is limited or competitive and aquatic ecosystems are degraded. The decline in aquatic ecosystems can impact on human well-being by reducing the ecosystem services provided by healthy rivers, wetlands and floodplains. Basi...
Various food and financial crises have increased the pressure on natural resources while expanding on alternative ways of considering agroecosystems as potential long-term providers of ecosystem services if managed in a sustainable and equitable way. Through the study of interrelations between ecosystems, water, and food security, this book has aim...
Despite uncertainty pertaining to methods, assumptions and input data of climate change models, most models point towards a trend of an increasing frequency of flooding and drought events. How these changes reflect water management decisions and what can be done to minimize climate change impacts remains unclear. This paper summarizes and extends t...
Networks are structures that link actors (individuals or organizations) who share a common interest or a set of values. The Environmental Flows Network (eFlowNet) was established to answer a demand to facilitate awareness raising, capacity building and implementation of environmental flows worldwide. In addition, it provides a central reference poi...
The transition towards a less carbon-intensive society has been initiated. Still, the international climate policy arena is seeking a significant mitigation strategy. Land-Use, Land-Use Change, and Forestry (LULUCF) activities have been acknowledged to represent both a valid carbon dioxide reduction option through biological removal and a considera...
"This report highlights the service role played by healthy ecosystems in helping water managers meet their goal of maximising the economic and social welfare of all water users in an equitable manner. Healthy ecosystems simultaneously serve multiple aspects of human well-being, especially among poor communities living close to the land-water interf...
