Biography
Ted Veldkamp has been working as a PhD researcher with the Institute for Environmental Studies (IVM) since February 2013. Within the Water and Climate Risk department she has been working on the ENHANCE project under supervision of Dr Philip Ward and Prof. Jeroen Aerts. Ted’s current PhD research focuses on trends, inter-annual variability, economic exposure and impacts and optimizing adaptation strategies with respect to water scarcity worldwide. Prior to starting at the IVM, Ted completed a BSc and an MSc in Earth Science and Economics (VU Amsterdam). During this period she has been working as a research assistant at several departments of the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam. Ted specialized herself in the interdisciplinary research topic of catchment hydrology, water management and spatial and environmental economics. She graduated from the MSc programme with a thesis on the development of a drought risk assessment model for the analysis of damages to house foundation constructions caused by periodical ground water fluctuations.
Research Interest
GIS, natural hazards, risk assessment, land-use change analysis, spatial and environmental economic analysis, and catchment hydrology.
