She was the scientific coordinator of the H2020 NAIAD project on the Natural Insurance Value: assessment and demonstration ([...] Her current interests are focused on how to have a deeper understanding on the role nature can play to reduce or manage risks and generate co-benefits at different scales. She is also focused and committed to structuring real projects on the ground with end users to accelerate the uptake of more sustainable solutions to current socio-ecological challenges.

Peter van der Keur has a background in soil physical and vegetation hydrological processes and modelling. He has since 2001 been employed by the Geological Survey of Denmark and Greenland (GEUS) and initially worked on research related to water and solute transport, including uncertainty assessments, from the soil surface to the groundwater domain. Later focus has shifted towards water resources management including hydrological impact studies on climate changeadaptation and disaster risk reduction mainly from a groundwater perspective and participated in various European, Nordic and national funded projects. In the H2020 NAIAD project he was co-leading the part on demonstrating nature-based climate adaptation solutions in contrasting European case studies. Recently he coordinated the H2020 TACTIC (GeoERA) project on climate change impact on groundwater resources and is currently in the Horizon Europe GSEU project coordinating the part on appraisal, protection and sustainable use of Europe's groundwater resources. He is a member of the Water Resources Expert Group (WREG) and Urban Geology Expert Group (UGEG), both within the EuroGeoSurveys (EGS).
