Food SecurityIs this the farm of tomorrow?
At Citizen Farm Herenboeren Usseler Es, farmers are exploring how data can help them adapt to climate change challenges, such as unpredictable weather and longer growing seasons. Researchers from the University of Twente are helping by providing them with more precise data for better-informed farming decisions.
The goal is to enhance local food pr…

ITCClimate ChangeHow urban green can keep tropical cities cool
Urban green spaces are considered a nature-based solution to help cities adapt to climate change. A recent study investigates the specifics of this phenomenon in a tropical city to gain a deeper understanding of urban green spaces’ cooling dynamics and support effective greening policies.
Worldwide, there is growing awareness and scientific eviden…Adapted by Ottevanger, M. 6 min

How remote sensing helps us investigate extreme heat's effect on crop productivity
Agricultural yield is influenced by a multitude of natural factors including temperature, water availability, sunlight, and soil quality.
In view of ongoing global warming, there's an urgent need for knowledge and understanding of the specific impact of heat extremes on crop productivity.
Agriculture all over the world is increasingly challenged b…Adapted by Ottevanger, M. 6 min

How do glaciers behave in a warming climate?
Glacier monitoring in alpine regions is crucial for understanding how glaciers respond to climate change, how they impact water resources and ecosystems, and their role in natural hazards.
A recent study tested a novel monitoring approach using a low-cost camera system.
Traditional glacier monitoring methods like satellite imaging provide broad co…Adapted by Ottevanger, M. 6 min
