Congrats to Wim Thiery and Harry Zekollari for receiving the EGU Arne Richter outstanding early career scientist award!!!

#EGU23 was mindblowing. Thank you so much European Geosciences Union for honoring me with the Arne Richter Award, and for the incredible opportunity to present my work in Vienna. Most award and medal lectures (including mine) were recorded and can be viewed here: meetingorganizer.copernicus.org/EGU23/sessionp…

"We have to put intergenerational justice at the heart of our climate communication" Couldn't be more proud of Wim Thiery, my mentor, for winning the Arne Richter Award and giving a mind-blowing talk at #EGU23! Inspiring me, and now also an entire cohort of geoscientists ✨

De wetenschap achter de klimaatjongeren: top-klimaatwetenschapper Wim Thiery van VUB maakt pijnlijk concreet wat klimaatverandering voor volgende generaties betekent demorgen.be/ts-bae37cd0

Het lijkt simpel: je neemt een oldtimer, haalt er de motor en benzinetank uit en vervangt alles door een batterijpack en geschikte elektromotor. Ingenieursstudenten van de VUB gingen de uitdaging aan. Of hij rijdt? Dat ontdekken ze vandaag tijdens een testrit op de campus!

How much damage and human suffering is climate change causing? Last month we discussed this question VUB during the COST PROCLIAS - COST Action 19139 workshop "Bridging climate and impact attribution". Watch the aftermovie here:
