OxTalks will soon move to the new Halo platform and will become 'Oxford Events.' There will be a need for an OxTalks freeze. This was previously planned for Friday 14th November – a new date will be shared as soon as it is available (full details will be available on the Staff Gateway).
In the meantime, the OxTalks site will remain active and events will continue to be published.
If staff have any questions about the Oxford Events launch, please contact halo@digital.ox.ac.uk
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.
