Jessica Droujko is a passionate kayaker and lover of rivers. So it’s fitting that she should combine that passion and her PhD from ETH Zürich to launch Riverkin, a startup that monitors river health.

🌊 How rivers shape landscapes and their importance in global ecosystems

🔬 How Riverkin monitors water levels and sediment flows

🏞️ Jessica's adventures on some of the world's most interesting rivers, including the Boiling River in Peru

🚣‍♀️ The balance between responsible tourism and river conservation. Think: Grand Canyon
