معرفی
Dr Andrea Momblanch is a Lecturer in Water Systems Modelling at the Cranfield Water Science Institute, Cranfield University. Her research focuses on catchment-scale water resources systems analysis, integrating modelling approaches to assess trade-offs between human and environmental water uses. She has led and contributed to multiple NERC, EPSRC, EU, and GCRF-funded projects, particularly in high mountain regions such as the Himalayas and the Andes.
Her research interests include:
- Natural capital and nature-based solutions in water management
- Climate change impacts and adaptation in water-scarce basins
- Hydro-economic and integrated water resources modelling
- Ecosystem services valuation in river basins
- Glacier and snow dynamics in water supply systems
Her recent publications demonstrate a strong trend in using integrated models (e.g., SWAT, WEAP) to evaluate water-energy-food-environment nexus challenges under global change, with field applications in Ecuador, Ethiopia, India, Peru, and Spain. She frequently collaborates with international teams on transboundary water issues.
Her scientific work has been supported by:
- Natural Environment Research Council (NERC)
- Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC)
- EU Framework Programmes (FP7, H2020)
- QR GCRF funding
She has advised on river basin management, environmental flows, and sustainable development, contributing to policy-relevant science. Her work appears in journals such as Environmental Science & Policy, Earth's Future, Climatic Change, and Journal of Hydrology.
She is actively involved in research projects related to:
- Indigenous knowledge and climate resilience
- Glacier retreat and water security (Peru GROWS)
- Pollution management and resilience-thinking in rivers
- Lowland peat and greenhouse gas emissions
