Professor Dr. Bert Wouters

Biography

Bert Wouters received his Master's degree and PhD from the Faculty of Aerospace Engineering and has worked as a post-doctoral researcher at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI) as well as at universities in Boulder, Colorado and Bristol, United Kingdom. For the past eight years, he has been on hiatus before returning to Delft to commence a part-time tenure track position at the Geoscience and Remote Sensing department, which is combined with an appointment at Utrecht University. His research primarily focuses on remote sensing and climate studies, particularly utilizing satellite gravimetry and altimetry. Recently, his work has concentrated on the cryosphere, demonstrating a strong interest in the interactions within climate systems. His research heavily employs climate model data to comprehend and articulate the driving changes observed through satellites. In the current year, he was awarded a VIDI grant to further investigate mass loss in the global glacier population, which will guide his research in the coming years.
