General Information
These online seminars are organized on behalf of the River
Basin Development chair group, within the Water Resources and Ecosystems
department. Our research focuses on the balance of key elements of a river
basin such as water and sediment, which implies the interaction of these with
climate, geomorphology, the biosphere and human made constructions. The
equilibrium (or availability); the excess and the scarcity of these natural
elements are decisive for the safety of society, access to food, energy
production and the environment. The River Basin Development chair group
investigates processes in the natural and built environment which are
determinant for the design and planning of sustainable water infrastructures
prepared for global change.
In these seminars, we welcome some of our international
peers. These well-renowned experts present their pioneering research activities,
which can be usually framed within the scope of our degrees, but expand beyond
what can be commonly taught in a classroom.
Important note: to join a live online seminar, you need to 1) create a user first, and then 2) enroll in the course. Otherwise, the link to the session remains invisible.

For Whom?
These online seminars represent a supplement to streamlined education, allowing students, alumni and any water
professional to expand their comprehension on topics that usually lay in the
frontiers of knowledge.
Learning Objectives
Each seminar pursues a different learning goal. These are usually well-aligned with those of our regulated MSc programmes, but expand into the latest developments in each field.
Coordinator
Materials are prepared by each seminar speaker. Coordination is made by Daniel Valero, from Water Resources and Ecosystem department, IHE Delft Institute for water education.
Previous seminars
Seminars taking place online will be recorded and made available online through this Open Course Ware. More information about previous not recorded seminars can be found in here.
