NWO award for sand scarcity as new emerging crisis of global scaleMuch of the sand needed for coastal replenishment, land reclamation and construction is extracted from sandbanks in the sea. However, sand reserves in the North Sea around Belgium and Zeeland are depleting. Moreover, sea sand extraction threatens the stability of sandbanks and their associated ecology. The University of Twente's BANX project is developing computer models and data analysis techniques to improve the detection and understanding of the consequences of large-scale sand extraction in areas with sand scarcity. Sand scarcity is an emerging crisis on a global scale. BANX contributes to making marine sand extraction more sustainable.Read more
ERC consolidator grant for three UT scientistsThe European Research Council honoured the applications of three UT researchers for an ERC Consolidator Grant. The funding will support excellent scientists and scholars at the career stage where they may still be consolidating their own independent research teams to pursue their most promising scientific ideas. The grants go to Johannes Schmidt-Hieber (EEMCS), Massimo Sartori (ET) and Richard Stevens (TNW). A total of 308 consolidator grants have been awarded in Europe with a total value of € 627 million.Read more
