Wouter is a Research Associate at the University of Saskatchewan at Canmore, and ex board member of both the Young Hydrologic Society and the AGU Hydrology Section Student Subcommittee. Wouter’s research focuses in four main areas: (i) using knowledge from experimental basins to improve continental domain models; (ii) model structure uncertainty, realism and benchmarking; (iii) hydrologic similarity; and (iv) reproducibility and transparency of hydrologic science. Wouter has published his work in leading international journals, including Water Resources Research, Geoscientific Model Development, Hydrology and Earth System Sciences and International Journal of Climatology.
