March 31, 2021: kick-off of the ANR JCJC project “RW-Turb” The kick-off meeting of the ANR JCJC RW-Turb project took place on 31/03/2021. RW-Turb relies on the expertise of HM&Co in measurement and modelling across wide range of spatio-temporal scales of atmospheric turbulence and rainfall to quantify the impact of the latter on wind power...
June 2, 2020: kick-off of the project “Building for the Future, Living in the Future” in the framework of the 3rd Investment Plan for the Future. Opening by the ENPC/HM&Co movie “No limit to shared value”.
Great e-Debate “Epidemics, Urban Systems and Geosciences” This debate was held on Monday 4th May 12:30 CET on occasion of “EGU2020: Sharing Geoscience Online” and as an extension of the European Geosciences Union (EGU) session ITS2.10 / NP3.3: “Urban Geoscience Complexity: Transdisciplinarity for the Urban Transition”. e-Convener: Daniel Schertzer (Ecole des Ponts ParisTech) / Co-conveners: Alexander Baklanov (World Meteorological...
Townhall TM19 Cities and Interdisciplinary Geosciences TM19: Thu, 11 Apr, 19:00–20:00 room 1.85 (green level) Geosciences are more than ever solicited in their full interdisciplinarity to meet the urgent need to make our cities climate neutral and proof, smart, safe, resilient, sustainable, inclusive, enjoyable, and to increase well-being and health. This is testified by a...
Day 2019 of the Chair “Hydrology for Resilient Cities” Ecole des Ponts – Fondation des Ponts – Veolia “Accelerate city readiness for a changing climate” Tue. 7 May 9:00-17:00, amphithéâtre V, Veolia Headquarters, 3 rue Madeleine Vionnet, 93300 Aubervilliers, France
During the summer of 2018, some first tests were made to measure the different components of the energy balance of the Blue Green Wave. A radiometer (lent by Kipp & Zonen) measured the net radiation taking into account both short- and long- wave radiation emitted by the atmosphere and the soil. Several temperature sensors were...
On the 31st of August, twelve students, from the Master in Metropolitan Analysis, Design and Engineering at the Amsterdam AMS Institute, spent one day at the HM&Co laboratory. They visited the pilot sites Blue Green Wave and Taranis Observatory. During two interactive workshops, they had the opportunity to manipulate rainfall data and evaluate the new...
On April 26th, the first EVNATURB evapotranspiration campaign was carried out on the Blue Green Wave, in front of École des Ponts ParisTech. The campaign aims at estimating evapotranspiration flux in different locations to assess its variability in space and time. With this purpose, a portable transpiration chamber developed by David Ramier (Cerema Île de...
The results of our research works will be presented next week at the European Geoscience Union General Assembly 2018 in Wien. The following sessions and presentations will be held by the HM&Co team. To read the abstracts, click on the title of the session, oral or poster you are interested in. Monday, 9 April 13:45–14:00,...
