Short info
I am a hydrogeologist interested in the interaction of groundwater systems with geological and environmental processes and the effects of climate change on global groundwater resources
Research
Recent interests include:
- Global groundwater resources and climate (Berghuijs et al. 2022, Berghuijs et al. 2024, Moeck et al. 2024)
- The role of groundwater in landscape evolution (Luijendijk, 2022)
- Global coastal and submarine groundwater (Luijendijk et al. 2020, Wilson et al. 2024)
- Thermal springs and groundwater in faults (Luijendijk et al. 2020, Louis et al. 2019, Luijendijk 2019)
See my google scholar profile for more publications
I specialize in designing new open-source geoscientific model codes. Examples include:
- beo: a model of fluid flow, heat flow and thermochronology in hydrothermal systems
- goemod: a coupled groundwater, overland flow & erosion model
- grompy-couple: a coupled groundwater flow & solute transport model of coastal groundwater systems
- pybasin: a model of the burial and thermal history of sedimentary basins
see my GitHub account for more model & data analysis codes
