Successful PhD defense of our colleague Robin van der Schalie

VanderSat is very proud to have a new doctor on board. On October 18 our colleague Robin van der Schalie successfully defended his PhD thesis at the VU University Amsterdam. The past 3 years Robin worked on a methodology to implement new satellite information in the existing soil moisture climate data record. This work resulted in a series of papers which were all published in high ranked scientific Journals. The international PhD jury was unanimous in their verdict and very positive about Robin’s public defense.

Robin is no stranger to beer. The man brews his own…so we all headed to the beautiful Prael lokaal in the Amsterdam city center to celebrate his well deserved PhD title.
