dr. JM (Jeroen) Schoorl

I am Associate Professor in Geomorphology and Landscape Evolution Modelling at Soil Geography and Landscape (formerly known as Land Dynamics, Laboratory of Soil Science and Geology). I am evaluated as an excellent teacher of both BSc and MSc courses (top 5% Wageningen University), including coordinating and developing award winning courses on geology, landscapes and soils. My research is build upon extensive experience with land use and geomorphological modelling, landscape evolution modelling and characterization of integrated agricultural, soil, landscape and land use systems. I carried out international and national research projects on land dynamics, landscape evolution and land use - landscape-soil interactions in Europe (Spain, Greece, France, Turkey) and Latin America, Africa and Asia. I have designed, founded and lead the LAPSUS model framework (including LAPSUS-LS land sliding), on modelling multiple landscape processes at multi spatial and temporal dimensions and scales, focussing on soil and water (re)distribution and the interactions of the water balance with both urban-human, as agricultural and food production systems. In addition, I have experience with land use change modelling (co-developing the early versions CLUE model), digital soil mapping, and a special interest in landscape or DEM resolution and sensitivity analysis in landscape evolution modelling. I have (co-)authored over 214 publications (Google Scholar) in (inter)national proceedings, refereed journals and books (88 peer reviewed),
