Nathalie heeft dit onderzoek direct na de ramp in Valencia opgepakt en dat is nu al, in een voor de wetenschap snelle periode van één jaar, gepubliceerd. Lees haar wetenschappelijke artikel hier: hess.copernicus.org/articles/29/...

Onze Nathalie Rombeek legt in RTL Nieuws uit hoe ze met haar onderzoek heeft laten zien dat door gebruik te maken van persoonlijke weerstations die veel mensen in de tuin hebben staan in de toekomst overstroming-waarschuwingen beter kunnen. (17:20 in deze uitzending) 🧵👇

Vorig jaar werd Valencia door een verwoestende overstroming getroffen. Accurate voorspellingen hiervan kunnen levens redden. Voor deze voorspellingen worden officiele meetstations van regen gebruikt (hoeveel water valt er waar?), gecombineerd met computer-modellen (waar gaat dat water heen?). 🧵👇
Our PhD Nathalie Rombeek reconstructed the devastating floods last year in Valencia. Her new publication shows that by using personal weather stations to supplement official ones, smartly using all available data, flood warnings can in the future be issued with greater accuracy.
Our @rolfhut.bsky.social makes threads like this one on newly published papers that he has worked on!
Sanne Smith aims to remove PFAS in existing water purification systems. Foam plays an important role in her attempts to remove as much PFAS as possible from the wastewater. PFAS molecules bind to air bubbles and hitch a ride towards the surface and end up in the foam.

Brilliant @tudelftwm.bsky.social water systems excursion to the Anna Paulowna polder today!
our #EGU25 contributions for today!
Wednesday will be a busy day for the people from our group that are attending #EGU25: lots of exciting science will be presented!
images showing modelled heat over Paris for different times of day showing the urban heat island effect with the inner city being very warm during the mid of the day. Image from de Ridder et al 2017, https://doi.org/10.3390/urbansci1010003
After the break, the students will start working with numerical models to study real interventions in real cities. After their graduation they are ready to put these experiences to practice in their jobs as Environmental Engineers! 3/3

By adding water and wind the students hands-on see the cooling effects that they learned about in equations and models in previous lectures. A fun and insightful activity to end on a light note just before the #christmasbreak. 2/3
Our colleague Arjan Droste teaches our MSc students about urban heat effects by letting the students build #DUPLO cities, putting them under a heat source and looking at them with a heat camera. 🧵 1/3
Look at the cool projects our Eng for Glob Dev students will work on in the coming months! Great first session with @rolfhut.bsky.social. @tudelftwm.bsky.social teaching strikes again! 😉😃🙄
New research published from our @tudelftwm.bsky.social group today: Relating Rainfall Retrieval Parameters to Network and Environmental Features to Improve Rainfall Estimates from Commercial Microwave Links in the Tropics. 🧵 1/4 doi.org/10.1175/JHM-...
