Lizzy - testimonial

For 4 months I studied the groundwater - surface water interaction in the largest lake in New Zealand.

For me Water Science and Management was a perfect follow up after my Bachelor's where I had gained understanding in both earth sciences and economics. My interest in water had grown in the three years of my bachelor because I saw the growing importance to have a multidisciplinary approach to increasingly complex issues in water management.

In my second year I had the opportunity to do my internship in New Zealand where I contributed with my research to a large national study to the groundwaters in New Zealand. For 4 months I studied the groundwater - surface water interaction in the largest lake in New Zealand using an innovative, relatively new technique to measure temperatures. My background had taught me to work together in teams, and also to solve problems independently, earning me a lot of freedom within my own research.
