- After about 30 years in the water sector, I keep coming back to the assumptions beneath our work. Not which technology we choose, how much data we gather, or how we innovate, but through which lens we look. The lens comes first. Before we ever sound a river, we have already decided what she is: a flow to calculate, a channel to maintain, a risk to manage. Our instruments carry that decision inside them. Rick Rubin says that whoever makes something is not the source, but an antenna. What comes through depends on what you are tuned to
- A coastal model gives you numbers: wave height at the toe of a breakwater, metres of shoreline retreat, cubic metres of sediment moving along the coast each year. The real work starts when you ask what those numbers mean for the beach, the dune behind it, and the port next door that has to keep its channel open. That is the work we’d like to share with you. HAEDES is looking for a senior coastal modeller with ten or more years in coastal and sediment dynamics, hands-on experience with #SWAN, #Delft3D, #XBeach, #Telemac. You’d be
- One year into #EcoGBF — Part 2/2: The web-of-life lens. A foundation on the seabed is never only a foundation. It holds up a turbine. It also is a place full of potential: a nursery for young fish, a refuge for many species, part of the web that feeds the people who harvest from that sea. For a year now, the #EcoGBF project has challenged us to develop a new generation of offshore wind foundations that take both of these lives seriously. HAEDES leads the consortium, and within it the work on scour protection (WP3), environmental
- EcoGBF, one year in. Part 1/2: #ScourProtection A foundation placed on the seabed changes the water around it. The flow speeds up along its edges, curls into eddies behind it, and slowly carries away the sand it stands on. That is scour. For the past year it has been our work in WP3 of EcoGBF, a project developing a new generation of gravity-based offshore wind foundations that combine structural efficiency with environmental and ecological considerations. HAEDES leads the consortium, and within it the work on scour protection

- In the water off Porto de São Roque do Pico, a wave buoy is now riding the Atlantic. Miguel Milhazes and Francisco Bastos set it out a few weeks ago. It will log the swell that reaches the harbour: height, period, direction. That record will feed the #NumericalModels that will support the construction of the port infrastructure. #Measuring is what we do and it provides us valuable data. It is also where a quiet paradox begins. A wave-buoy does not record the sea. It records what a buoy can register. The model then builds a clean
- Later today the sun stands directly over the equator - the autumn equinox. Both hemispheres share roughly equal light, for one day only. We tend to ask a place to hold still. The equinox proves even balance keeps moving — tomorrow it tips again. We build for extremes — a flood, a hundred-year storm — figures we barely know, with little room to move if they shift. We design for control; nature runs on variability. The equinox shows it in a day; autumn, across a season. Reading a place's rhythms, designing for cycles instead of against
- 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
