Recent interests include:

• Global groundwater resources and climate (Berghuijs et al. 2022, Berghuijs et al. 2024, Moeck et al. 2024)
• The role of groundwater in landscape evolution (Luijendijk, 2022)
• Global coastal and submarine groundwater (Luijendijk et al. 2020, Wilson et al. 2024)
• Thermal springs and groundwater in faults (Luijendijk et al. 2020, Louis et al. 2019, Luijendijk 2019)

I specialize in designing new open-source geoscientific model codes. Examples include:

• beo: a model of fluid flow, heat flow and thermochronology in hydrothermal systems
• goemod: a coupled groundwater, overland flow & erosion model
• grompy-couple: a coupled groundwater flow & solute transport model of coastal groundwater systems
• pybasin: a model of the burial and thermal history of sedimentary basins
