A new deep-learning based model developed by the University of Freiburg and Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) calculates for the first time how heat stress will develop on each square meter of a city in the future.
The researchers have developed models that enable precise and detailed measurements and predictions with the help of artificial intelligence (AI) – for example on the frequency of thermal stress, but also on the effects of changes in planning.
Researchers from Freiburg and Utrecht show which signaling pathways make plants more resistant to flooding
Freiburg hydrologist presents new results showing how sinking groundwater levels threaten the vitality of riverine ecosystems.
New research warns that the extraction of ground water for industries and households is increasingly damaging floodplain forests in Europe given the worsening intensity and length of drought periods in the summer. Floodplain forests predominantly containing oak trees are most at risk.
Voluntary Commitments
The organization has no registered commitments.
The Sendai Framework Voluntary Commitments (SFVC) online platform allows stakeholders to inform the public about their work on DRR. The SFVC online platform is a useful toolto know who is doing what and where for the implementation of the Sendai Framework, which could foster potential collaboration among stakeholders. All stakeholders (private sector, civil society organizations, academia, media, local governments, etc.) working on DRR can submit their commitments and report on their progress and deliverables.
