Charlotte van Haren

Charlotte van Haren is a Researcher at Wageningen University & Research, specializing in Earth Observation and Environmental Informatics through Wageningen Environmental Research. Her work focuses on land use dynamics, spatial planning, and biodiversity conservation across European landscapes, Bangladesh, and Ghana.

Her research integrates advanced modeling approaches to address critical environmental challenges:

• Land use change and classification using integrated spatial analysis
• Carbon sequestration potential in European agricultural soils
• Biodiversity restoration through targeted landscape interventions
• Water security under climate change in Mediterranean regions
• Delta management and nature-based solutions in Dutch estuaries

Recent publications (2023-2025) demonstrate applied environmental modeling expertise, particularly with the LARCH framework for evaluating landscape restoration scenarios and irrigation water systems. Her work bridges earth observation data with practical conservation planning, showing strong interdisciplinary connections between spatial planning, hydrology, and ecological restoration.

As part of Wageningen Environmental Research, van Haren collaborates internationally on projects including Ghanaian land use mapping and Bangladesh environmental studies, maintaining active research networks across global environmental science communities.
