Climate change also measured by the sound of glaciers

Climate change also measured by the sound of glaciers

In winter, glaciers are silent. But in the summer, it turns out that they generate infrasound through calving ice and meltwater. This is an inaudible sound to humans, but is picked up by high resolution measuring instruments.

Trapped between green goals and geopolitical reality [TU Delta Article]

Raw material shortages are putting the brakes on the energy transition. It is time for more (urban) mining in Europe and policy to get the circular economy off the ground.

Can TU Delft still work with the oil industry?

Can TU Delft still work with the oil industry?

Delft's climate mission no longer makes working with the oil industry a given. Prof. Dr. Giovanni Bertotti (Geoscience and Engineering (GSE)) works at the department with the most collaborations in the oil and gas industry. The shift from fossil to renewable energy is taking place slowly but irreversibly. What does that mean for collaborations?

De aarde als batterij - Hadi Hajibeygi

Waar sla je overtollige windenergie op als het lekker waait en windmolens overuren draaien? In de ondergrond, zegt ingenieur Hadi Hajibeygi van de TU Delft. Gebruik het overschot aan duurzame energie om water te splitsen in zuurstof en waterstof, en bewaar de waterstof als reservevoorraad energie voor windstille dagen, is daarbij het idee. De ondergrond is dan de ideale opbergplek. Geo.brief zocht hem (via een online gesprek) op.
