Smart mobility start-up Skialabs launched by CWI researchers
Traffic flows in cities could be managed much more efficiently thanks to cutting-edge technology pioneered by the new start-up Skialabs. By using huge dataflows collected in cities, the Skialabs platform provides a …
Extreme events better investigated with new math method
Fortunately, incidents like extreme weather, earthquakes or massive power grid blackouts are a rare occurrence. Analysing properly how likely such rare incidents are to happen can be very valuable, but also very …
New data framework illuminates uncertainties in offshore wind farm conditions
Wind speeds and wave heights can have a major effect on offshore wind farms. But because they are correlated, their combined significance for wind farm designs couldn’t be factored in until now. …
Scientists develop detailed representation of clouds in weather and climate models
A team of climate researchers and computational experts has developed an innovative method to study cloud dynamics in unprecedented detail in weather and climate models.
