Elco Luijendijk

I am a hydrogeologist interested in the interaction of groundwater systems with geological and environmental processes and in the behaviour of groundwater systems over geological timescales.

Recent interests include:

• Global groundwater recharge and its relation with climate (Berghuijs et al. 2022)
• The role of groundwater in landscape evolution (Luijendijk, 2022)
• The importance of global coastal groundwater discharge for the oceans and coastal ecosystems (Luijendijk et al. 2020)
• Thermal springs and the relation between groundwater and tectonics in fault zones (Luijendijk et al. 2020, Louis et al. 2019, Luijendijk 2019)

I specialize in designing new open-source geoscientific model and data analysis 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 coupled basin & thermochronology model
