TU Delft Institutes
Example: climate institute
Extreme weather and the city
Climate change and rapid urbanisation will
result in increasing water management
problems in urban areas through this century.
Urban areas are particularly vulnerable due
their high population densities and
high concentration industrial and
infrastructural assets.
Aerosols, radiation and clouds
The interaction between fine dust particles in
the air, the formation of clouds and the effect
of clouds on climate change may be easily
explained, but is notoriously hard to capture in
scientific models.
Sea level rise and mass
transport
How does the ice mass of Greenland, Antarctica
or of glaciers change over time? What will be
the effect on the sea
level?
Climate information and policy
Our society is dependant on energy and
transport networks. Extreme weather causes
local incidents which could lead to nationwide
disruptions of traffic, trains and energy supply.
