Francesco Messali aims to pinpoint more precisely where the vulnerable spot is. This could yield gains in reinforcing houses faster and more efficiently, avoiding unnecessarily extensive and costly interventions.

In a new Horizon Europe project, researchers will develop a digital twin that supports decision makers to design resilient urban areas that can cope with the changing climate. Researchers from TU Delft and 18 other partners receive the Horizon Europe grant for their project called UrbanAIR.

Daarvoor is het nodig om het wereldwijde watersysteem goed te begrijpen en het waterniveau veelvuldig en op vele plaatsen te kunnen meten. Dr. Jian Guo en zijn team van TU Delft, samen met industriële partners COMET Ingeniería en ISISPACE, hebben daarom een nieuw concept genaamd Alticube+ bedacht. Dit voorstel is recent uit meer dan 70 voorstellen door ESA geselecteerd om samen met een team van ESA experts verder te gaan ontwikkelen.

The dwellings have elements of biomimicry, contain a self-sustaining biosphere and simulate a day-night cycle as well as seasons. Smart design choices safeguard not only the occupants' safety but also their mental well-being.

The resulting models need to be fast and flexible, but also complete enough.” Read more 26 June 2024 Artificial coral reefs that help protect islands from flooding Reef-lined islands are often low-lying and thus extremely vulnerable to coastal flooding. The vanishing of coral reefs worldwide gives the waves free rein. Besides efforts to protect the reefs, ways to artificially restore coral reefs are being devised. Can the proposed reef restoration be an effective mitigation measure against flooding? Read more 26 June 2024 Colleague dr.
