Dr. Suzanne Jacobs co-leads the HydroCrowd project. She is particularly interested in identifying suitable approaches for the successful engagement of stakeholders and citizen scientists and understanding people’s motivation to participate. Suzanne conducts the majority of her research in tropical regions. During her PhD, she studied hydrological and biogeochemical processes in catchments under contrasting land use Mau Forest Complex in Kenya. She is particularly interested in the relation between land use and the provisioning of water-related ecosystem services. Her experience lies in the use of field-based methods to understand hydro-biogeochemical processes, ranging from low-cost and citizen science-based methods to high-resolution data collection with in situ instruments. She currently applies these methods in research projects in Kenya and Tanzania, as well as Germany. Suzanne has a BSc in Environmental Sciences (Utrecht University, the Netherlands) and a MSc in Sustainable Forest and Nature Management (Georg-August-Universität Göttingen, Germany and Bangor University, UK). She did her PhD at JLU in collaboration with the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Institute of Meteorology and Climate Research, Atmospheric Environmental Research (KIT/IMK-IFU, Germany) and the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR, Kenya) and has been working as a research associate at the Centre for International Development and Environmental Research (ZEU) since 2017. |
