Biography
Marlies is interested in improving the understanding of the interactions between humans and water.
She studies human-water systems using a variety of methods including the analysis of empirical data (both quantitative and qualitative), quantitative modelling of human-water systems, and the integration of empirical data and models.
Marlies started as a lecturer at King's in September 2023. Prior to working at King's she worked as a postdoctoral researcher at the VU Amsterdam, investigating drought-to-flood events and how they are influenced by human-water interactions.
She completed her PhD in 2020 at the Technical University of Vienna, studying human-flood interactions.
