Please join the seminar by Dr Björn Backeberg @backeb @deltares on #Ocean #Modelling Hybrid format at UCT #Oceanography Seminar Room 🗓️Tuesday, 8 Nov 2022, 12h00 SAST sancor.nrf.ac.za/Documents/8…
A global ocean Search and Rescue capability (LOST) developed between @hartdavismhd (@DgfiTum) and @backeb (@Deltares) will be presented as a challenge at the Ocean Hackathon 2022 in Cape Town. We look forward to positive outcomes of this exciting event! campusmer.fr/all-challenges-…

globalwaterwatch.earth shows very high #reservoir #levels after multiple dry years in Lake #Lagdo and other upstream reservoirs. Releases may contribute to #Nigeria #floods. @WMO @WFP @WRIAqueduct @deltares @WWF

If you are at #WOC22, please find our poster based on using the WOC ocean surface currents to study the trajectory of surface drifters in the Agulhas Current System. In collaboration with a few great scientists: @backeb, Johnny Johannessen, @ErikvanSebille, and Denise Dettmerring

Excited to be participating in the @CampusMer Ocean Hackathon 2022 on behalf of @DgfiTum led by @backeb at @deltares for our project LOST for ocean search and rescue applications. If you have any additional ideas, do let us know! See our challenge here: campusmer.fr/all-challenges-…
We have just published 2 new case studies @HiSeaProject @openEO_Platform 🎉 Visit our website & read how others used our services. Perhaps you also become interested in piloting a new federated infrastructure for @CopernicusEU & Earth Observation #EO data c-scale.eu/case-studies/

It was our #C_SCALE meeting at @EODC_GmbH yesterday! We've had a great day of presentations and hackathons with our users, exploring our Metadata Query Service. 🌍🛰️📡 After a long period of virtual meetings, it was great to meet in person on a beautiful day in #Vienna! ☀️

Very grateful to have contributed to this study!
New @Nature publication shows that a shift in air circulation is responsible for the eastern #African #climate having changed to dry conditions about two million years ago. Co-authored by @backeb, adjunct position @Nansensenteret! The gist in 2-3 minutes 👉nersc.no/news/marine-sedimen…

This paper popped up for me today, some pretty crazy figures: only 3.8% of global climate research money is spent on African topics, and only 14.5% of this goes to African institutions. Africa is about 20% of the world's population... tandfonline.com/doi/pdf/10.1…

Article out on improving coastal marine management strategies! South African fishermen reported higher waves in summers (2010-2016). Model data from new study supports their observations! doi.org/10.1111/fog.12551
