Aafke Schipper obtained a master degree in physical geography with a specialization in soil and water systems at Utrecht University in November 2003. Graduation projects involved a hydrological and hydrochemical system analysis of a mire in the valley of the Ob River (Western Siberia), and an investigation of the effects of climate change on groundwater levels in the commune of Sehoul (Morocco). She gained further experience in hydrological modeling by the development of a water balance model for the Konya Basin in Turkey, as part of the WWF-project ‘Towards wise use of the Konya Closed Basin’. Subsequently, she worked for a short period as a consultant in hydrology at the company Geofox-Lexmond BV, before starting a PhD research at the department of Environmental Science in March 2005.
