Gijs Simons

Director/Hidrólogo


Gijs Simons es experto en hidrología y teledetección con ocho años de experiencia en gestión y ejecución de proyectos internacionales en el ámbito de la gestión de recursos hídricos. Ha realizado trabajos en Camboya, China, Egipto, Etiopía, República Democrática Popular Laos, Madagascar, Mali, Marruecos, Mozambique, Myanmar, los Países Bajos, España, Sudán, Uganda y Vietnam. Gijs posee habilidades avanzadas en modelización hidrológica, interpretación de imágenes de satélite, y análisis GIS mediante el empleo de una gran variedad de herramientas (ej. SPHY, SWAT, WEAP, ArcGIS, QGIS, PCRaster, Python, R, AquaCrop, Google Earth Engine) y abarcando varias escalas espaciales, desde el nivel de parcela hasta el de cuenca hidrológica. Gijs es el autor principal y coautor de un gran número de publicaciones incluyendo artículos científicos en revistas con referato e informes técnicos, a la vez que ha desarrollado y dirigido múltiples cursos de capacitación y talleres sobre teledetección, SIG y modelación hidrológica. Gijs es actualmente el director gerente de la oficina holandesa de FutureWater en Wageningen. Actualmente es investigador de doctorado en la Universidad Tecnológica de Delft desarrollando una tesis sobre las posibilidades de la reutilización del agua en una cuenca hidrográfica a diferentes escalas espaciales.
