Ryan Teuling

Ryan Teuling is an Associate Professor in Hydrology and Environmental Hydraulics at Wageningen University & Research. His work focuses on droughts, heatwaves, and the interplay between vegetation, water cycles, and climate change, with a strong emphasis on regional hydrology in Europe, China, and Africa.

• Active projects include HydroTrans (global water management transparency) and Plastic Accumulation Zone Identification (macroplastic mitigation in rivers).
• Recent research explores climate regulation services in temperate forests during heatwaves, moisture recycling impacts of the Three Gorges Reservoir, and deforestation’s compensatory effects on precipitation in Brazil.

His contributions span hydrological modeling, ecohydrology, and climate adaptation, with datasets and publications addressing water availability, aridity, and plastic pollution dynamics.

Scientific activities include consultancy on drought management in the Netherlands and invited seminars on European hydrology since 2012.
