Christian Tøttrup

Christian Tøttrup is a Guest Researcher at the Department of Geosciences and Natural Resource Management within the Faculty of Science at the University of Copenhagen. His research focuses on applying satellite Earth observation data to hydrological problems across various geographical contexts including Thailand, Denmark, China, and the Lancang-Mekong Basin.

His research interests span several key areas in hydrology and remote sensing:

• Satellite-based hydrological monitoring and analysis
• Water resources management using Earth observation data
• Reservoir and river system analysis
• Surface water extent mapping and monitoring
• Hydrological modeling with limited ground data
• Multi-mission satellite data integration for water resource applications

Tøttrup's publication record demonstrates a strong focus on leveraging satellite technology for water resource management. His recent work shows increasing sophistication in integrating multiple satellite datasets with hydrological models, with applications ranging from reservoir analysis in Thailand to river monitoring in the Lancang Basin. The research often addresses practical water management challenges in regions with limited ground-based monitoring infrastructure.

His scientific contributions have gained recognition with multiple papers receiving significant citations, particularly his 2021 work on Sentinel-3 radar altimetry for river monitoring which has garnered 74 Scopus citations.
