@VU_IVM Water & Climate Risk department day! We explored the interesting Waterloopbos & the beautiful city of Hasselt. We played the carillon, found the local streetart, and had drinks & dinner at a windmill. We had a lot of fun together! #HappyColleagues 😍

A whole year of record breaking ocean temperatures. This warmth has significant effects on ocean ecosystems. A large fraction of the world’s human population rely on protein from the ocean to live. Disruption to life in the ocean does affect us all. https://t.co/8i2nq9zzQB

Excited to share that we won the OSPP Award at EGU23 for our presentation on #drought in East Africa🌍. We show how optimized early action can considerably reduce drought impacts. https://t.co/D0SiKELpRa @D2E_Project @VU_IVM @VU_Science

Only 2-days since #EGU23 ended, and I'm already nostalgic for the amazing PICOs, inspiring talks, and engaging posters... but most of all for the incredible new/old researchers/friends. Always great to be "contaminated" by our passion for studying #drought #floods #multihazards

Very glad to present our work on impact-based forecasting and early/anticipatory action at #EGU23. We showed how @ECMWF SEAS5 forecasts can be used in the region to reduce #drought impacts.
