About Linda Maring

Linda Maring (MSc) is an expert on soil and subsoil. In particular, the link between the subsurface and spatial planning. How can the natural soil-water-sediment system contribute to social issues in our living environment? What are the challenges and opportunities of this system in spatial (re)development? To get answers to these questions, she works in co-creation with governments, knowledge and market parties to ensure that knowledge can actually land in policy and practice.

Linda works on various Dutch and European projects to support the development and implementation of soil policy. These include various projects that give shape to the Water and Soil Steering Policy. She is also active from the beginning in various European projects that implement and support the European mission "A Soil deal for Europe".

Linda is part of the core team that shapes Deltares' knowledge programming on soil, water and space together with the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water and Rijkswaterstaat

Linda is a member of the Dutch Soil Platform, a partnership of research institutes and the central government where supply and demand of knowledge in the field of subsoil are matched.
