Nikolai joined the CSP in January 2006. He will work in the freshwater team on the freshwater ecoregions of the world, on the development of digital hydrosheds and on environmental flows.

Prior to working at the WWF, Nikolai did research on river basin management and water policy in Indonesia. From 1999 to 2003 he worked in Egypt as an associate expert on water management and GIS for the Dutch Directorate General of International Co-operation. Nikolai received his M.Sc. in Tropical Land and Water Management from Wageningen University, the Netherlands in 1999. He did research on water user organizations and water management in Thailand and in Indonesia and on GIS applications on channel networks in Spain.

In this position at the WWF Nikolai hopes, by using tools as hydrology and GIS, to increase awareness concerning the exploitation of freshwater resources among different sectors and to contribute in identifying workable solutions.
