Background

Z. (Bob) Su is Professor of Spatial Hydrology and Water Resources Management at the International Institute of Geo-information Science and Earth Observation (ITC) and Twente University. He earned a Ph.D. degree in Civil Engineering from Ruhr University Bochum in Germany, a postgraduate diploma and a M.Sc. degree with Distinction in hydrological engineering from the UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education in Delft, the Netherlands and a B.Sc. degree in Hydraulic Engineering from Taiyuan University of Technology in China. In the period from 1994 to 1996, he worked as a post-doc researcher at the Laboratory of Hydrology and Water Management in the Faculty of Agriculture and Applied Biological Sciences of University of Ghent in Belgium. He was a senior scientist in remote sensing and hydroclimatology at Wageningen University and Research Centre, Alterra Green World Research before he joined ITC in October 2004. He was appointed as guest professor of the School of Water Resources and Environment, China University of Geosciences in Beijing in 2001 and guest professor of the Institute for the Tibetan Plateau Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2005.

Since 1 April 2005, Bob Su also serves as the Head of the Department of Water Resources at ITC.

Bob Su's current research focuses on quantitative remote sensing and numerical modelling of land surface processes and interactions with the atmosphere, earth observation of water cycle and applications in climate and ecosystem studies, and monitoring of food security and water-related disasters. He has acted as project manager, principal investigator and co-investigator of many projects supported by the Dutch Remote Sensing Board, the Dutch Ministry of Agriculture, Nature and Fishery, the Royal Dutch Academy of Sciences, European Union and the European Space Agency (ESA). He is a member of AGU, IAHS, IEEE, and EGU. He has published actively in refereed journals and conference proceedings and serves as reviewers for several international journals.
