It is with great sadness that we inform you that our colleague Karl-Heinz Wolf passed away February 28th, 2025. Dr Karl-Heinz Wolf started his career at TU Delft more than 40 years ago. Since 2007 he was associate professor in petrophysics and from 2011 to 2019 director of the Geoscience and Engineering Laboratory. In this position, he could oversee and direct the laboratory, field work, and educational projects for all sections in the department of Geoscience and Engineering.

Anne-Catherine Dieudonné receives a NWO Vidi grant to study the interaction between water and clays. Predicting the time-dependent behaviour of clays has been a major challenge so far. By focusing on the distribution and properties of water in clays, it will become clear how clays behave under stress with time.

As Europe pushes to meet its renewable energy targets, geothermal energy, with its potential to provide a reliable and climate-friendly source of heat, must be scaled up. The new EU-funded FindHeat consortium, led by TU Delft, will develop an innovative toolkit to support more efficient and sustainable exploitation of geothermal energy. It will reduce technical and economic risks and boost public support.

Max Ramgraber, geowetenschapper bij de TU Delft, ontvangt een NWO Veni-beurs om de ondergrond beter in kaart te brengen. Informatie over de vaak lastig bereikbare diepte zijn schaars, en gaan vaak gepaard met statistische onzekerheid. Daarom werkt Ramgraber aan een statistische methode waarbij hij verschillende, vaak complexe, data combineert.

Heat stress and air pollution ravages cities more and more. In a new Horizon Europe project, researchers will develop a digital twin that supports decision makers to design resilient urban areas that can cope with the changing climate. Researchers from TU Delft and 18 other partners receive the Horizon Europe grant for their project called UrbanAIR.
