Annette Janssen

Annette Janssen is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research, affiliated with the Water Systems and Global Change Group within the Earth Systems and Global Change School. Her work focuses on lake water quality, eutrophication, and the interaction between environmental and societal factors. She received the NWO Veni Grant in 2019 to study solutions for algal blooms and lake restoration. Her research integrates modeling, field studies, and policy analysis to address global water challenges, particularly in China. She leads projects on nutrient retention networks, sustainable resource use, and climate change impacts on lakes.

• Key Projects: Smart Nutrient Retention Networks, Sustainable Resource Management (SURE+), Modelling Land-River-Lake Systems
• Grants: NWO Veni Grant (2019)
• Education: Advanced degrees in Environmental Science (not explicitly stated in text)

Research Interests: Lake ecosystem functioning, algal blooms, climate change impacts, nutrient dynamics, and policy integration for water quality management. She has developed models like PCLake+ and collaborates internationally on lake restoration strategies.

Awards: Veni Award 2019 (Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research).

Advising: Co-promotor for PhD candidates including van Wijk, Yu, and Chen, advancing studies on lake management, nutrient retention, and algal blooms.

Labs/Teams: Active in the Water Systems and Global Change Group, contributing to interdisciplinary efforts in aquatic ecosystem modeling and policy.
