Hadi Hajibeygi was awarded €7500,- from a faculty fund in support of his initiative GeoScience & GeoEnergy Webinar series, to make science accessible for a wider audience.

We welcome dr. ir. Davide Wüthrich as a new assistant professor to the section of Hydraulic Structures & Flood Risk.

Gisteren presenteerden Ernst Kuijpers, Marion Koopmans en Ahmed Aboutaleb bij het televisieprogramma Jinek het Pandemics and Disaster Preparedness Center (PDPC) van de TU Delft, Erasmus MC en Erasmus Universiteit Rotterdam. Vele onderzoekers van CiTG zijn betrokken, onder wie prof. Bas Jonkman (vanwege zijn expertise over overstromingen en neveneffecten) en prof. Serge Hoogendoorn (vanwege zijn kennis over de rol van mobiliteit bij infectieziekten). Dit kenniscentrum brengt topwetenschappers met kennis van pandemische dreigingen en klimaat gerelateerde calamiteiten samen.

We weten dat de koraalriffen wereldwijd afsterven, maar er is opvallend weinig bekend over hoe dit precies gebeurt. Daarom zal een multidisciplinair team van Nederlandse en Caribische onderzoekers, waaronder Boris van Breukelen van de TU Delft, dit de komende jaren onderzoeken. Het project 'SEALINK' heeft onlangs 3,5 miljoen euro subsidie gekregen in het kader van het Caribbean Research programma van NWO.

Laura Maria Stancanelli started as an Assistant Professor in the River Engineering group of the Department of Hydraulic Engineering. Welcome!

Our consortium, led by EcoShape and Wetlands International, and in which TUDelft plays a prominent role via our two research projects BioManCo and MuMaCo won a prestigious award from the UK Environmental Agency for our work in Indonesia, rehabilitating eroding mangrove-mud coasts and improving socio-economic and living conditions of the local communities.

Anneroos Brussee has won the KNW Thesis Award 2020 for her MSc Thesis 'Improving Flood Fatality Risk Assessment for River Flooding in The Netherlands'.

Congratulations to Erik C. van Berchum, William Mobley, Sebastiaan N. Jonkman, Jos S. Timmermans, Jan H. Kwakkel, and Samuel D. Brody who have been selected for the JFRM Best Paper Award 2020 for their paper ' Evaluation of flood risk reduction strategies through combinations of interventions'.

I am happy to inform you that the Polder2C’s project has started accepting applications for our 1st Winter School.

The Journal of Coastal and Hydraulic Structures (JCHS) is a completely free and open community-based journal. All papers are rigorously peer-reviewed research in a double-blind fashion. Its mission is to publish high level engineering science results focused on the field of coastal and hydraulic structures.
