Opnieuw een interessante studie mogen uitvoeren ivm hittestress in steden, deze keer Berlijn (met @CA_Latest, @swecobelgium & @cccKlimazentrum). Orgelpunt is wellicht het modelleren van hittegevoelige plaatsen voor volledige centrum van Berlijn op 1m (!) resolutie. @VITObelgium

New paper alert! @VITOBelgium presents a new study on current and future impacts of heat stress for the city of Niamey (Niger). Climate change & population growth significantly increase negative effects for the already vulnerable population. A🧵
