معرفی
Professor Stefan Krause is a faculty member at the University of Birmingham, holding the position of Professor of Ecohydrology and Biogeochemistry within the School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences. His research is highly interdisciplinary, focusing on the complex interactions between groundwater and surface water systems under global environmental change. He is also an active member of the Birmingham Plastics Network, contributing to holistic research on sustainable plastics futures.
His research interests include:
- Ecohydrology and biogeochemical cycling
- Groundwater-surface water interactions
- Contaminant and nutrient transport in aquatic systems
- Impacts of land-use and climate change on hydrological fluxes
- Microplastic pollution in freshwater and terrestrial environments
- Development of innovative modeling and experimental techniques
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on microplastics, nutrient dynamics, and hydrological modeling, with a growing emphasis on environmental policy and sustainable solutions. His work spans from field-based investigations to advanced computational modeling and interdisciplinary collaboration.
Professional service and affiliations include:
- Editorial board member, Ecohydrology (since 2011)
- Editorial board member, Frontiers in Hydrosphere (since 2013)
- Associate Editor, Grundwasser</> (since 2013)
- Guest editor for special issues in Water Resources Research, Advances in Water Research, and Hydrological Processes
- Committee member, European Geoscience Union (Eco-Hydrology, Wetlands & Estuaries; Catchment Hydrology)
- Member, Hydrogeology Group of the Geological Society of London
He has supervised visiting research and PhD students through EU-funded programs and engaged in consultancy for international projects, including the Underground Coal Gasification Partnership and assessments of German water resources under climate change. His research group actively investigates the implications of environmental change on water and nutrient conditions using adaptive modeling strategies.
