About me ... 


WELCOME to my site, where I share my curiosity, passion and fascination for water, from rainfall to runoff in downstream regions and everything in between!

Hi, I'm B.M.C. Fischer

I am a hydrologist with civil engineering background and curiosity for nature. I study and teach how rainfall becomes runoff and which water vegetation consumes using hydrometric and tracer data to improve process understanding to safeguard our water resources in a changing climate. 

To unravel the hidden spatiotemporal signal of states and fluxes of a catchment, I mastered and used a combination of traditional hydrometric (e.g., rainfall, groundwater and discharge) and state-of-the-art tracer data (e.g., δ18O, δ2H, EC, Ca and DOC), modelling tools and different GIS tools to process and extract using (geo)statistical methods the hidden information about the hydrological system. 

In addtion I desgin, build and explore novel low-cost but high tech sensors for high spatial and temporal datacollection and water sampling.

My research interest and curiosity cover hydrology, ecology and water management and can be divided into four research themes 

Water can be a serious business, but most importantly, remember to have fun with this exciting element 💧
