Bochum Urban Climate Lab & Climates of extreme locations @ruhrunibochum

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

We converted a bike into a mobile measuring station which records climate data to analyze thermal comfort and heat stress. It collects the data on the move in order to investigate the effects of the urban climate in detail. #Data2Resilience #ICLEIActionFund #ClimateResilience

Our second stakeholder workshop in the Data2Resilience project took place yesterday. The project is sponsored by the ICLEI Action fund 2.0. #ICLEIActionFund #DataDriven #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateResilience #Data2Resilience #Environment

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

This week we had our internal #Data2Resilience meeting to celebrate a milestone: 67% of the project are completed! We identified the tasks for the next phase and outlined a path to hit the project finish line! #ClimateResilience #DataDriven #ICLEIActionFund #ClimateAdaptation

Most major cities around the world are covered by the TAs

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

The #LCZ-Generator passed 10,000 successful runs (https://t.co/SvziDLkBHm) . Over 1500 individuals contributed training areas (TAs) for a total of 582,934 unique polygons.
To give back to the community, we published the TA dataset: https://t.co/eSOUH243D8 @IAUrbanClimate

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

We hope this #crowdsourcing dataset will be useful for the community, to continue the development of #LCZ mapping and filtering algorithms for training areas.

Many thanks to all #WUDAPT contributors that compiled this dataset as part of an amazing global team effort.

Today we had our first successful observation campaign for the WATCH-Project. It deals with the water consumption of small children in rising temperatures, and also provides drinking recommendations for this vulnerable group #ClimateAdaptation #DataDriven

The first image of our new measuring network! The map shows the lowest temperatures in Dortmund of the night from August 28 to 29 - and even more stations are coming! #Data2Resilience #ICLEIActionFund #ClimateResilience #ClimateAdaptation #DataDriven

Yesterday we had our last Climate Comfort Lab at the Hoeschparkfest in Dortmund. Although it was really hot, many visitors came to learn about heat adaptation and our project! #Data2Resilience #ICLEIActionFund #ClimareResilience #ClimateAdaptation #DataDriven

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

After the release of the Sensational Walk in Dortmund, the first walks were carried out. One of them took place with representatives of the Green Party. Despite the rainy weather, the group gathered to examine the urban climate effects on site #Data2Resilience #ICLEIActionFund

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

Students on a Master's course carried out mobile and stationary climate measurements in Dortmund Scharnhorst this week. This made it possible to investigate spatial differences and differences between sealed and unsealed surfaces. #ClimateResilience #ClimateAdaptation #DataDriven

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

Yesterday we presented the Data2Resilience project and the planned measurement locations at the "Allianz Smart City Meetup" in Dortmund! #ICLEIActionFund #DataDriven #ClimateAdaptation #Environment #ClimateResilience #Data2Resilience

Studierende der RUB starten erste Messkampagne für den Sommer 2024 in Dortmund. Ziel ist es, die mirkoklimatische Wirkung von Steingärten und anderen Vorgärten zu untersuchen. #Data2Resilience #ICLEIActionFund #DataDriven #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateResilience

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

also check out our new tool "is it hot?" https://t.co/XAxTIQ6Z1q which is inspired by: https://t.co/10qfzXluQ8 developed by @MatLipson and colleagues. To be always up to date whether it's this hot normally.

#weather and #climate records in @bochum_de in 2023.
The hottest year on record since 1912 (12.2 °C compared to 10.4 (1961-1990)) but also the wettest year on record since 1888 with 1141.4 mm of precipitation (compared to 833.4 mm (1961-1990)) @ruhrunibochum

On Wednesday, we held our first stakeholder workshop for the "Data2Resilience (D2R)" project. This project is funded by the ICLEI Action fund 2.0. #Data2Resilience #ICLEIActionFund #DataDriven #ClimateAdaptation #ClimateResilience

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

#Nachhaltigkeitswoche at RUB with interesting presentations from the Institute of Geography #ICLEIActionFund #DataDriven #ClimateAdaptation #Environment #ClimateResilience #Data2Resilience

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

Presentation of D2R at "Arbeitskreis Klima" in Tübingen. #ICLEIActionFund #DataDriven #ClimateAdaptation #Environment #ClimateResilience #Data2Resilience

[RUB Climatology @RUBclim]

This time we were at the "Quartiersgespräch Nordmarkt" on the subject of climate change adaptation and greenery. The measuring device provided values ​​for the perceived temperature. #ICLEIActionFund #DataDriven #ClimateAdaptation #Environment #ClimateResilience #Data2Resilience
