Author Information

Ms Heyddy Calderon is from Nicaragua. She received her BSc. in Chemical Engineering in 2001 from the National University of Engineering in Nicaragua, her thesis was related to experimental determination of infiltration parameters in mine tailings. After completion of her BSc, Ms Calderon received a scholarship from the Canadian International Cooperation Agency (CIDA) to pursue master studies. She received her MSc in Hydrogeology from the University of Calgary in 2004 with a thesis on regional groundwater flow modeling of the most important aquifer of Nicaragua. Starting in 2004, Ms Calderon joined the Nicaraguan Aquatic Resources Research Center at the National Autonomous University of Nicaragua (CIRA-UNAN), where she is now a researcher and adjoined lecturer in hydrology. From 2004 to 2010 Ms Calderon worked in many research projects in Nicaragua related to water resources quality and quantity, groundwater modeling, hydrochemistry and stable water isotope tracers in crater lakes, and water resources management. In 2009 she started her PhD under the guidance of Prof. dr. Stefan Uhlenbrook with the financial support of Nuffic. In 2010 she received a research grant from the International Foundation for Science (IFS). In 2011 she received a 3 year grant from Faculty for the Future Foundation to conduct her PhD. Ms Calderon has several publications in peer-reviewed journals, not all of them relate to the content of this thesis.
