We are one year into our ten-year project. Our researchers, support staff, lab technicians and IT specialists have been working hard to lay a strong foundation for the coming years. What did we do? A sneak peek:🔎 We identified which rivers, estuaries and beaches and dunes we will monitor🌪️ We acquired field and lab equipment…

How do we protect the Dutch deltas from extreme weather events?Speakers in the Delta ENIGMA community presented at the 10th edition of the Brunings lecture, which focused on measuring interactions with plants and effects of extreme events. After a warm welcome by Universiteit Utrecht Faculty of Geosciences organiser Maarten Kleinhans, Gerben Ruessink spoke about the…

It is already 6 months now when project Delta ENIGMA had kicked off with a burst of energy and excitement. Since then the team dove into regular meetings face to face and via teams. On Tuesday, 11 of June, our 2nd scientific team meeting of 2024 was held at iD Lab, Deltares. The meeting was…

Our project will run for a decade long and heavily depends on the contribution of skilled technical members. Today all technicians (from our consortium institutes) representing Delta ENIGMA met each other for the first time at the Earth Simulation Lab (/ESL) of Universiteit Utrecht.Our meeting started by giving an “introduction to Delta ENIGMA” to taking…

Even if the world succeeds in keeping global climate change under control, sustainable management of deltas will require extensive adaptation measures to cope with the local pressures and ongoing changes. This means quantification on how deltas change, impact of these changes, and eventually improvement in modelling and system understanding is urgent to regain predictive power….
