OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

Dr Hans de Moel is an assistant professor at the Institute for Environmental Studies, Vrije Universiteit, Amsterdam. He is part of the Water and Climate Risks group, which researches various water-related hazards including flooding, droughts and hail. A significant portion of the group’s research relates to the quantitative assessment of water-related risks, their impact on society, and management.
In this talk, Hans will illustrate some of the latest research emerging from VU Amsterdam. This includes new developments in the use of Twitter data in flood research and monitoring, assessing global flood damages in a consistent way, and the development of drought profiles for African countries.
