Personal profile

Research profile

Jill Slinger is a transdisciplinary scientist and teacher in environmental systems modelling, engineering and policy analysis at Delft University of Technology. She also an honorary visiting professorship at Rhodes University, South Africa and is an office bearing member of the interational Scientific Committee for Problems of the Environment (SCOPE). Her research expertise rests on excellence in (i) field-based knowledge of aquatic systems, (ii) mathematical modelling, (iii) intervention methods and (iv) participatory engagement with communities, scientists, policy makers and the private sector. She publishes in water, coastal, environmental science, policy, planning and engineering journals, and holds the position of Editor in Chief of the transdisciplinary journal Environmental Development. Currently, her research activities focus on using ecosystem-based design knowledge in supporting transdisciplinary interactions between people, science and policy in river and coastal systems – a co-design approach to planning and management.
