Wolf Mooij

Wolf Mooij is a Professor at Wageningen University & Research, specializing in Aquatic Ecology and Water Quality Management. His work focuses on water ecosystems, including eutrophication, lake meta-ecosystems, and climate-smart water management strategies.

• Active projects include climate change mitigation in surface waters
• Developing nutrient retention networks for sustainable aquatic systems

Recent research trends emphasize cross-lake connectivity, nutrient stoichiometry, and the role of macrophytes in aquatic food webs. His modeling work spans ecological, hydrological, and socio-environmental perspectives.

As a promotor, he supervises PhD candidates in areas like:

• Beaver-landscape interactions
• Rhino horn trade ecology
• Climate-smart water management
• Surface water greenhouse gas emissions
• Transboundary nutrient networks

His datasets and models are widely shared through open-access platforms like Zenodo.
