Wang Lu

Wang Lu received her PhD degree in April 2015 from Delft University of Technology, the Netherlands. Her PhD topic was Climate Change Impacts on River Floods: Uncertainty and Adaptation. Wang Lu joined the China Groundwater Management Project as a postdoctoral researcher in July 2015. Her main work is to assess impacts of climate change on groundwater and to investigate adaptation strategies in groundwater management under climate change.

Research interests

Her research includes the following aspects: 

• Impact assessment of climate change and anthropogenic activities on GW-resources
  
• Adaptation to climate change in GWM
• Risk analysis
  
• Statistical downscaling
