This year, I co-authored two high-level academic publications. The first one was published with an international selection of hydrological scientists and is published in Water Resources Research:
- the initial outlining of the paper in its major sections,
- a section on soil health and the “soil carbon sponge” that is essential to understand water quantity flows as well as water quality in watersheds, and
- the model management perspective on orchestrating the multiple knowledge domains and departmental contributions that are required for water quality modelling in watersheds.
A second paper was published earlier this year, which summarizes my work around watershed modelling in public-sector agencies. I wrote it with colleagues in Finland and Australia:
Model management receives surprisingly little attention, especially if compared with management efforts around data and geospatial data. I believe that reasons are mostly found within the community of modelling experts, who are hesitant to increase transparency around modelling and model-derived products. The paper outlines how modelling processes can be systematized, such that they become manageable for high-level managers and increase the transparency of decision making.
