Svenja Waldmann

Dr. Svenja Waldmann is a senior researcher and Knowledge Valorisation Officer at Utrecht University's Faculty of Geosciences. Her work focuses on subsurface-based climate solutions, including CO2 storage, energy storage, and fluid-rock interactions.

• Ph.D. in Geosciences, University of Jena (2011)
• M.Sc. in Geoscience, University of Göttingen (2007)

Her expertise bridges fundamental geoscience with socio-economic and governance aspects of the energy transition, emphasizing communication with non-specialists. Key research areas include clay mineralogy, geochemistry, and sedimentary petrology.

Recent publications address carbon capture storage policy in the Netherlands (2021) and geological uncertainty in Groningen subsurface damage settlements (2020), reflecting her interdisciplinary focus on technical and legal challenges.
