The American Meteorological Society has elected Remko Uijlenhoet as Fellow for his outstanding contributions to the hydrometeorological sciences over a substantial period of years. In particular, his research on the development of remote sensing techniques for measuring the variation of precipitation in space and time, among other things crucial for the understanding and prediction of hydrological processes in river catchments, led AMS to appoint Remko as Fellow. One of the innovations Remko has worked on with students, PhD candidates and colleagues over the past 20 years is the use of microwave links from cellular communication networks to measure precipitation, particularly important in areas where little to no rain gauges or weather radars can be found, such as in the Global South.

How do you get people out of the car? The alternative should be a seamless, comfortable and affordable journey. A case study with the public transport provider RET in Rotterdam has now progressed to the point where travellers will soon be able to plan their multimodal trip through their app, including bus, tram and metro combined with micromobility services. A TU Delft research team has designed a short-term forecasting algorithm to predict demand and micromobility fleet availability (like shared bikes and e-scooters of Check, Tier, NS and more) in real-time. Multimodal trips are then designed taking the available resources into account that will be incorporated in a single app. This way, researchers from the Seamless Shared Urban Mobility project hope to attract travellers in Rotterdam who might doubt using multimodal trips due to uncertainty on the availability of micromobility fleet as part of their trip plan.
