IPCC synthesis report

It's been a pretty intense spring period, with Aimée travelling to the IPCC synthesis report approval in Interlaken in March. It was a week like no other in climate science - being part of the approval process and being on stage in front of delegates from all over the world is something else. The SPM is a great piece of text, with awesome visuals, made by an amazing and smart group of people from all working groups of the IPCC and from all over the world, and I'm honoured to have been part of the Core Writing Team.

1953 flood disaster

On 1 februari 2023 it was 70 years ago that a devasting flood hit the southwest of the Netherlands. I was asked to be part of the presenter team for the 'NOS Watersnoodjournaal', which was broadcast in the week of the 30th of Januari, taking the viewers back to the year 1953 and explaining how the flood happened. In addition, the NPO made a 4-hour documentary called 'Het Water Komt', where you can see me and other colleagues from NIOZ in episode 4.
