Walking the halls of the EGU General Assembly 2025 a few weeks ago, I was full of child-like curiosity. Being surrounded by people doing fascinating, creative, and innovative research felt like a dream come true. New faces every day, big talks on small advances and complicated methodologies. I learned about mountain ecology and failing snow-models, and I was captured by graphs and animations ̵ ...[Read More]

How do you ensure quality in your flow modeling? Participate in a survey!

The challenges in hydraulic engineering are increasing due to the growing threat of floods and heavy rainfall events caused by climate change (as experienced several times in Europe in recent years) on the one hand and the more frequent low water situations and the associated requirements for ecological enhancement of water bodies, on the other hand. In this context, reliable estimates of the hydr ...[Read More]
