Expert in Ecohydrology and Sustainable Urban Systems
Associated with :
Wageningen University & ResearchDr. Klaas Metselaar serves as Assistant Professor of Ecohydrology at Wageningen University & Research, where he specializes in the intersection of ecological and hydrological systems. His research focuses particularly on sustainable water management solutions, with significant work in green roof technology and urban ecology. His expertise spans the study of water movement in various ecological systems, from peat moss layers to urban green infrastructure. Through his work on green roofs, he has contributed to understanding how vegetation can be matched to growing conditions to enhance urban biodiversity. His research combines theoretical modeling with practical applications, developing hydrological models to predict and improve the performance of sustainable urban systems. He collaborates on interdisciplinary projects examining both the ecological and economic benefits of green infrastructure, particularly focusing on how these systems can contribute to urban sustainability and climate resilience.
