Dr. Erik Tijdeman

Erik Tijdeman is a postdoctoral researcher at the professorship in Hydrology and Climatology at the University of Heidelberg. Previously, he studied hydrology and quantitative water management at the University of Wageningen and he did his PhD at the University of Freiburg on the topic of natural and human influences on streamflow droughts.
