Malin Falkenmark is currently with the Stockholm Resilience Centre (SRC) and the Stockholm International Water Institute (SIWI). She is a future-oriented scientist and a pioneer of interdisciplinary environmental and water research. Her deepest interests lie in the linkages between land/water/ecosystems, particularly as they relate to water scarcity, regional similarities and differences, and their policy implications. She has introduced three broadly used concepts: the water scarcity indicator, the concepts of green and blue water, and hydrosolidarity. Professor Falkenmark has held several high level posts on international boards and committees, and has received several international awards, including the Rachel Carson Prize and the Volvo Environmental Prize.
