Karsten Høgh Jensen教授生于1952年，1977及1983年在丹麦科技大学年分别取得硕士及博士学位，现任教于哥本哈根大学地理与地质系，并担任水资源研究国际学校（FIVA）的校长，以及Vadose Zone Journal副主编。发表及合作发表51篇学术论文被ISI数据库收录，9部书籍专著等。

他的研究兴趣包括：1. Hydrological observatories: focusing on integrated monitoring, time-lapse measurements, experiments and modeling at a hierarchy of nested temporal and spatial scales.

2 Unsaturated flow and transport: paying particular attention to expanding the knowledge of recharge and groundwater dynamics and how groundwater interacts with surface- and sea water.

3. Catchment hydrology and coupling to remote sensing: focusing on improving the estimation of regional precipitation by radar data and analyzing the effect of different precipitation estimation schemes on hydrological model predictions.
