- Recently I had the privilege to travel to #Suriname again for our #VIKAP-project. The main goal of the project is creating sustainable hydropower. Our job? Mapping the watersystem and #training our local partners in the use of geospatial and climate data and turning it into a decision support tool. There’s something special about working between Flanders and Suriname. We share the same language, understand each other, and have so much to learn from one another. Natural #partners in tackling water and climate challenges! I’m
- Earlier this summer, professionals from several of Suriname's government water institutions spent several days working inside the same Geospatial Data Warehouse and Decision Support System (DSS). The training explored how geospatial data, hydro-climatic information, and cloud-based decision support can come together — turning scattered data into decisions people can actually stand behind. Our thanks to the Department of Integrated Water Management (IWB) at the Ministry of Natural Resources for bringing together such an engaged
- Four roles, no single office. A Civil Engineer, an Earth Observation specialist, a Senior Coastal Modeller, and someone to grow our work in Artificial Intelligence & Data Fusion —that's the gap we have, and the chance we'd like to offer. Where any of these four ends up sitting matters less than where the person behind them wants to live. The Tejo, the Douro, the Schelde — the site changes, the work doesn't. Talent tends to choose a place before it chooses a job. We'd rather shape the office around that than ask someone to shape their
- This week Duc Anh NGUYEN and Tom De Vits are in 's-Hertogenbosch, at the international Power2Peatlands Conference. A peatland holds water the way a body holds breath — steadily, without being asked. That holding buffers drought and flood, locks carbon into the ground, and gives shelter to species that live nowhere else. When a peatland dries, the holding fails: carbon returns to the air, the sponge collapses, and the lives it sheltered go with it. So how does a peatland stay resilient enough to keep holding its pattern, while also
- An ecosystem is never finished arranging itself. Ours isn't either. Sebastian Bubmann and Josep Coma Romera are following other currents — in work, in life. We worked closely enough that things got learned that neither side could have reached alone. Thank you. As they move on, Tomás Calheiros Cabral arrives. He grew up in Porto, within earshot of the Atlantic, and never really left the water — surfing it, diving beneath it, drawn to the ocean long before it became his profession. Marine and coastal engineering was less a decision
- 4 The Maverick — No edges? Walk along a river - and it stays a view. Walk with the River - and something in you changes. Not the water. You. The way you see, the way you be. Episode #4 is out (see comments). This is the homecoming episode. Not an arrival, but an experiment in being — just as you are. Nothing added. Nothing left out. What happens when you cut the motor — and drift? The heron that was here all along — while we made our noise. The stillness is not mine — it is what holds me. The boat carries me. The river
- When Art and Science Come Together for Water. At HAEDES, we experience that the most complex environmental challenges require collaboration across disciplines. Art and science can—and should—work side by side. Earlier this summer Barbara Proença represented HAEDES in the Water Innovation Lab (WIL) as part of the S+T+ARTS AQUA MOTION initiative, bringing an industry perspective to a multidisciplinary group of experts from academia, government, civil society and the environmental sector. S+T+ARTS AQUA MOTION, an initiative of the
- The Estorãos. The Labruja. The Lima. Three rivers of the Ponte de Lima basin - north Portugal, each carrying the memory of how water and land hold each other. Since May, HAEDES has been working alongside the Municipality of Ponte de Lima, supervising the rehabilitation works now underway along these rivers. The public consultation of May 30th opened the way. Floresta Bem Cuidada, Lda and SYNERG are in the field. The work follows what each reach asks for: banks held by living structures, room made for the riparian community that
