Prof. dr. Daphne van der Wal
Research Leader
Using satellites and drones, I observe deltas, coasts, and estuaries. The use of these remote sensing techniques can teach us a lot about water quality, biodiversity, nature conservation and coastal defence (flood risk reduction).
Research interests and expertise
- Dynamics and management of (tidal) ecosystems
- Ecosystem structure and functioning of estuaries and deltas
- Biodiversity of estuaries and deltas
- Water quality
- Primary production of mudflats and waters
