A.J. (Han) Dolman

Professor of Ecohydrology and head of the department. His research interests are the interaction of the terrestrial biosphere with the hydrological cycle and atmosphere and the physics of the transfer of water, energy and nutrients from soil to biosphere and atmosphere. His skill include  numerical modelling of Soil Vegetation Atmosphere Transfer (SVAT) models and meso-scale atmospheric models, forest hydrology.
