Agnes Pranindita studies the interdependence between atmospheric water and society

Pranindita is a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Comet project, in which she investigates how different research methods influence our understanding of cross-scale dynamics in water systems. Pranindita’s PhD research aimed to disentangle the roles of atmospheric water flows in connecting aspects of human livelihoods at different scales as well as in different sectors. Pranindita further explored how these roles may influence future land use governance, particularly on forests and agriculture.

Pranindita holds a PhD in Sustainability Science from Stockholm Resilience Centre, Stockholm University, Sweden, and an MSc degree in Earth and Environment, specializing in Hydrology and Water Resources from Wageningen University and Research, the Netherlands.

Since 2023, Pranindita has been an Advisory Board member of the Forests, Climate, and Livelihood (Focali) research network. Pranindita is also a Co-Coordinator of the Shifting Cultivation in Transition Working Group of the Global Land Programme (GLP) since 2026.

Forests support global crop supply through atmospheric moisture transport

Journal / article | 2025

Agnes Pranindita, Adriaan J. Teuling, Ingo Fetzer, Lan Wang-Erlandsson. 2025. Forests support global crop supply through atmospheric moisture transport. Nature Water. https://doi.org/10.1038/s44221-025-00518-4

Anomalous precipitation patterns associated with climate change increasingly threaten global crop supply. Forests, as major moisture source, could potentially buffer these risks, yet their specific role in sustaining agriculture and global crop supply remains underexplored. We investigate global forests’ contribution to crop production and export by estimating moisture flows from forests to agricultural areas and pairing them ...

Hydroclimatic vulnerability of wetlands to upwind land use changes

Journal / article | 2024

Simon Felix Fahrländer, Lan Wang-Erlandsson, Fernando Jaramillo, Agnes Pranindita. 2024. Hydroclimatic vulnerability of wetlands to upwind land use changes. ESS Open Archive. https://doi.org/10.22541/essoar.170541989.96154065/v2

Despite their importance, wetland ecosystems protected through the Ramsar Convention on Wetlands are under pressure from climate change and human activities. These drivers are altering water availability in these wetlands, changing water levels or surface extent, in some cases, beyond historical variability. Attribution of the effects of human and climate activities is usually focused on changes within the wetlands or their up...

Novel database reveals growing prominence of deep-sea life for marine bioprospecting

Journal / article | 2023

Erik Zhivkoplias, Agnes Pranindita, Paul Dunshirn, Jean-Baptiste Jouffray, Robert Blasiak. 2023. Novel database reveals growing prominence of deep-sea life for marine bioprospecting. Nature Sustainability/Research Square. https://doi.org/10.21203/rs.3.rs-3136354/v1

Perceptions that marine bioprospecting will deliver vast commercial benefits have placed ‘marine genetic resources’ at the center of key policy processes yet our knowledge about their importance remains limited. Here, we introduce a novel global database of marine gene sequences referenced in patent filings, the MArine Bioprospecting PATent (MABPAT) Database. It includes 25,682 sequences from 1,092 marine species associated wi...
