Overview

Jan G. M. Roelofs is affiliated with Radboud University in the Netherlands, focusing on environmental science with an emphasis on ecological and chemical processes in natural and engineered wetlands. Their research intersects multiple subfields including ecology, environmental chemistry, oceanography, and industrial and manufacturing engineering.

The scientist's work addresses key topics such as peatlands and wetlands ecology, coastal wetland ecosystem dynamics, constructed wetlands for wastewater treatment, marine and coastal ecosystems, and methane hydrates and related phenomena.

Coauthors frequently collaborating with Roelofs include Ernandes Sobreira Oliveira, Tamara J. H. M. van Bergen, Janne Nauta, Andrea Budiša, and Ralf Aben.

The publication venues for Roelofs' work include:

  • Ecosystems
  • Biogeochemistry
  • arXiv (Cornell University)

Recent papers authored or coauthored by Roelofs demonstrate a range of ecological and technical research interests. These include:

  • Water Hyacinth's Effect on Greenhouse Gas Fluxes: A Field Study in a Wide Variety of Tropical Water Bodies, 2020, Ecosystems
  • Isoetid mediated radial oxygen loss prevents iron reduction and the related mobilisation of ammonium and methane: an experimental approach, 2022, Biogeochemistry
  • A Digital Twin of Evaporative Thermo-Fluidic Process in Fixation Unit of DoD Inkjet Printers, 2025, arXiv (Cornell University)

Roelofs' research covers applied and fundamental topics concerning wetland ecosystems, examining greenhouse gas fluxes and biochemical processes such as oxygen loss and nutrient mobilization. The cross-disciplinary study on evaporative thermo-fluidic processes in inkjet printers reflects a broader engagement with industrial engineering aspects, potentially linking technology with environmental applications.

The scientist's contribution lies primarily in environmental science, specifically through studies focusing on ecological functioning and environmental chemistry within natural and constructed wetland systems. Their work supports understanding ecosystem dynamics in both tropical and coastal environments, connecting biological, chemical, and physical processes.
