Rozemarijn ter Horst has been working as a lecturer and doctoral student in the Water Resources Management Group at Wageningen University since October 2020. She studies how quantitative models influence water management and governance. To show how models are political, Rozemarijn ter Horst focuses on case studies in which models are introduced in the hope of reducing or resolving conflicts over shared water resources. In these case studies, she explores how data and technologies play a role in identifying generally accepted development options and how and when contestations (can) take place in this process. The case studies include the federal Kaveri (or Cauvery) River, shared by Kerala, Karnata, Tamil Nadu and the Union Territory of Puducherri, as well as the aquifers shared between Israel and Palestine. Her research draws on science and technology studies and constructivist theories, and she seeks to work closely with those who develop and implement the models. Before working with Wageningen University, Rozemarijn ter Horst worked at IHE Delft on water diplomacy, and remains affiliated as a visiting researcher on cross-border water governance.
