Dr. W.E. Penning
Dr. Ellis Penning is an expert in the field of Nature Based Solutions and ecohydraulics research. She leads the research programme on Nature Based Solutions in Deltares and carries out a variety of national and international projects related to this subject, amongst others in cooperation with the Dutch Ecoshape consortium. Ellis is a member of the steering group of the EU project MERLIN and responsible for the peatland- and wetland cluster working on implementation of NbS in these ecosystems. Within the EU-project REXUS she works on creating frameworks that facilitate the selection of NbS for Water-Energy-Food nexus challenges related to climate change. She also chairs of the International Steering Committee of the River Experiment Centre of the Korean Institute of Civil Engineering and Building Technology and leads the Deltares contribution to the joint project on vegetated flows in its unique large outdoor flume facility aiming to improve quantification of fluvial NbS under different flow regimes and linking this with innovative monitoring techniques to assess dynamics in space and time.
