معرفی
Natalie Ceperley is a researcher at the University of Bern's Institute of Geography, specializing in ecohydrology with a focus on Alpine and dryland systems. She holds a Ph.D. from EPFL and has conducted fieldwork across West Africa and the Swiss Alps. Her research integrates stable isotopes, environmental DNA (eDNA), and participatory methods to study hydrological processes and ecosystem interactions. Current projects include forest hydrology collaborations with the Bern University of Applied Sciences, examining the impacts of forest expansion and snow cover changes on Alpine watersheds.
- Education: B.A. in Biology (Grinnell College), M.Env.Sc. (Yale), Ph.D. (EPFL)
- Research Themes: Alpine hydrology, dry-land ecohydrology, water tracers, participatory research
- Key Projects: Vallon de Nant catchment studies, Volta River Basin climate impact modeling
Her interdisciplinary work bridges physical and social sciences, emphasizing field-based innovation and community engagement. Notable contributions include using isotopes and eDNA to trace water pathways and co-creating solutions for water security in transboundary contexts.
