معرفی
Hugo de Boer is a Professor at the Copernicus Institute of Sustainable Development, Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University. He serves as scientific lead for the Delta Climate Center in Vlissingen and coordinates MSc programs in Water Science and Management and Water Management for Climate Adaptation. His research explores climate-ecosystem interactions, focusing on plant ecophysiology, ecosystem dynamics, and nature-inclusive climate adaptation in deltas.
- Research Themes: Future Deltas, Pathways to Sustainability, Integrative Bioinformatics
- Projects: LEMONTREE, CloudRoots, 'From losers to winners' (ancient plant lineages under elevated CO2)
- Teaching Expertise: System thinking for sustainability, quantitative statistics, plant ecophysiology
Research Trends emphasize interdisciplinary approaches to climate change impacts on ecosystems, with publications spanning plant-cloud processes, CO2 acclimation, and eco-evolutionary optimality models. His work bridges biogeochemistry, land-atmosphere interactions, and sustainable development frameworks.
Projects & Collaborations include experimental studies on ancient plant lineages (Equisetum) and integrative field campaigns in Amazon and temperate forests. He contributes to modeling climate-vegetation feedbacks, pesticide emission scenarios, and social-ecological system transitions.
