Hi, I'm Karin.
I work as a scientist at the Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute (KNMI), in the R&D weather and climate modelling department.
My research focuses on the processes around climate change and the consequences for society. The past years at KNMI were centred around the development of new national climate scenarios for The Netherlands. The climate scenarios show the range of possible future climates of the Netherlands, taking into account uncertainties of future emissions (human, policy) and uncertainties in global and regional climate responses (scientific uncertainty). Besides this work, my research focuses on understanding extreme events (e.g. meteorological droughts, renewable energy droughts, high-impact events), atmospheric dynamics, and climate variability. Often using global climate models and large ensemble experiments (e.g. the KNMI LENTIS dataset, more here).
My personal commitment to climate science is the hope to contribute in a useful manner to increasing our understanding of Earth’s weather and climate, and be a liaison between the `hard' climate science and society (both the general public as well as professional stakeholders, institutions, etc).
Have you got any questions, requests for PDFs of publications or anything else- please let me know! Thank you for visiting.

KNMI 'climate messages'
I am part of the core team that aims to publish a 'climate message' a week (previously 3 times a week) to communicate relevant news and scientific findings to a greater public. My contributions below.
Meteorologica
Meteorologica is the magazine of the Dutch Association for the Promotion of Meteorology.
| • | March 2022 - Toekomstige weerextremen ontleed |
| • | March 2019 - Winddroogtes en winterkou bedreigen Europese energiezekerheid |
| • | September 2017 - Orkaan Harvey: een meter neerslag in Houston, klimaatverandering? |
| • | June 2017 - Mooi weer op komst? |
ClimateSnack
ClimateSnack (now SciSnack) is a global community of early-career scientists that work together to improve their writing and communications skills. There are writing groups at different universities, one of which I co-founded at UEA. Below are the blog posts I wrote during that time:
| • | October 2015 - How to respond to climate science denial |
| • | July 2015 - Characteristics of climate science denial |
| • | February 2015 - Flood management below sea level - strategies from the Netherlands |
| • | June 2014 - El Nino: a historical exploration and 2014 outlook |
| • | January 2014 - Excitement at the front: one island, two sea breezes |
