New paper out❗️📢. We developed a machine-learning model to predict food crises in the Horn of Africa 🌍. The model, trained by > 20 datasets, showed capable of predicting food-insecurity dynamics.https://t.co/IBya47mgSd

@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.

#EGU24, where should I start. I am so grateful to have spent a week with so many inspiring people, including my amazing @VU_IVM colleagues! Feeling honored to have received the #OSPP award from @EGU_HS, and to have presented our work on food security forecasting in East Africa.

One week left to apply to this (postdoc) researcher position on storyline visualisation in @ERC_Research project @PerfectSTORM_VU based at @VU_IVM 👇

[Tim Busker @TimBusker]

Only a couple of days left to apply to #EGU24! Working on impact-based forecasting, early warning or early action? Very welcome to join our session!

Do you work on impact-based forecasting or early actions to reduce the impact of natural hazards ⛈️🔥🌪️🌊☀️? Don’t hesitate to submit an abstract to our session at #EGU24! We welcome all applications related to early warning and early action.

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.

📢 New paper alert! 🌍 How can we best prepare for droughts? Our research shows that early action using ECMWF SEAS5 forecasts can reduce #drought impacts in the Horn of #Africa. Check out the full findings here! https://t.co/nL3WY3AW6s

When you cannot come to the office, the office will come to you!
Thanks to my lovely colleagues we had a good working day in sunny Utrecht. ☀️😍

[Alessia Matanó @Alessia_Matano]

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

[Tim Busker @TimBusker]

@_pedroalencar @ECMWF Hey Pedro, nice that you are interested! Indeed, too many things happening at EGU at the same time ;). Hope to see you next year! Here is the link to my publications: https://t.co/TO0VV7yhK4 and the preprint: https://t.co/othvY1a8jR

[Tim Busker @TimBusker]

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.
