Ernest Ronoh
Doctor of Bioscience Engineering
Thesis Title
Water, Sediment and Nutrient Fluxes in Yala River Basin – Kenya: Spatiotemporal Impacts of Forest Landscapes, Climate and Land Use Change on Water Quality
SHORT BIO
Ernest Kiplangat Ronoh holds a background in Agricultural Biosystems, specializing in Soil and Water Management. Currently employed as a Forest Hydrologist at the Kenya Forestry Research Institute (KEFRI), he joined the Hydrology Engineering Group in 2023 as a Ph.D. researcher under the guidance of Prof. Ann van Griensven. His research is centered on investigating catchment-scale water, sediment, carbon, and nutrient fluxes within a tropical river basin. The scope of his research encompasses a combination of new data acquisition, compilation of existing data (both field and remote sensing), and modeling work. Ernest’s primary objective is to quantify and comprehend water, sediment, carbon, and nutrient fluxes, particularly in relation to climate dynamics and changes in land use/cover.
