Irina Overeem's  Homepage

I did my Msc in 'Soil, Water and Atmosphere' at Wageningen University, The Netherlands. I completed a major in hydrogeology on an ice-contact delta in Norway in a joint project for the Department of Geology at Oslo University and the Department of Water Resource at WU. During 1995 I spent an interesting practical period with a NGO to assess groundwater-harvesting methods in rural India and carried out geological fieldwork in the Middle Mountains of Nepal. My final research was on the modelling of the Volga delta.
In 1997 I started a Ph.D. research on 'numerical modelling of fluvio-deltaic systems' at Delft University of Technology, Department of Applied Earth Sciences.
In addition to the Ph.D. research activities, I was involved in the 'Huesca Project' in Spain, which is a joint project of petroleum industry and DUT on outcrop analogues and reservoir characterization. I enjoyed the data collection, which even required alpine climbing skills, a great deal. I assisted every year in the fourth-years course 'Petroleum Geological Fieldwork' in that area.
Presently, I work as a Research Scientist at INSTAAR at the University of Colorado at Boulder, USA. Research activities focus on geological numerical modelling with emphasis on aspects of uncertainty prediction of sea-floor morphology. This is the site of our little group, called the DELTAFORCE, at INSTAAR.
