Albert Nkwasa
is a water and climate scientist interested in addressing global challenges through
robust modelling of the interactions between people and their environment, with
a specific interest on water quality. After obtaining an MSc in Water Resources
Engineering at KU Leuven (2019), he embarked on a PhD fellowship at Vrije
Universiteit Brussel (2020), focusing on ‘’global change impacts on non-point
source pollution of water resources in Africa’’ under the great supervision of
Prof. Ann van Griensven.

In many parts of Africa, land use changes such as agricultural expansion are degrading the water quality of water resources. Concurrently, climate change adds a new uncertainty with regards to water quality. However, Africa remains a blind-spot in non-point source (NPS) pollution research. This PhD aims to advance our ability to predict NPS water pollution for Africa under global change drivers while laying a basis for further NPS pollution research from continental to global scales.
